Virtual Partner

As title,is there currently anything available?
I'm going to be doing the same 25 mile cycling route every week for the next few months in an attempt to lose a few pounds with a pal of mine.
I used to have an edge 500 and I now really miss the virtual partner feature as Id like to see in real time how I compare to my last effort.
Is there anything out there I can use? I've looked through the Garmin IQ store and cant see anything but maybe I'm missing something?
I have a Vivoactive HR on latest firmware.

Cheers,
Does this use past activities as a virtual partner or do you set the pace of the partner for you to try and match/beat?

You set the pace of the partner.

Unfortunately, it is not possible for Connect IQ apps to retrieve the required information from past activities to implement a "race your last activity vp". :-(

Ah that's a shame. Just installed the app but I cant get it to get the link code. I get Error-2
I'm guessing its not the app at fault here but the sync issues with my phone (windows phone) as, since the anniversary update, I've had issues with syncing and notifications etc.

Hey Chandler,

I am really sorry to say that you will not be able to use my apps with a windows phone, since they require internet connection.

For a Connect IQ Application to access internet, it is required that Garmin Connect Mobile (GCM) app installed on the phone act as a bridge. As far as I know Garmin did not implement the "bridge" feature in the Windows Phone, only Android GCM and IPhone GCM have this capability.

I am not sure if this statement is valid to all phone models.

Cheers,

Robinson
