Showing real time data in Android during a bicycle/MTB run

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi,

Is there any way to show in my Android during a bicycle workout the same data that I can see in my Garmin Fenix 5? Pace, Time, Heart Rate, ...

I only have seen a way to broadcast my heart rate but my mobile is not ANT+ :-(

Thank you in advance!

Livetrack, ANT+ & Waze

I've found that LiveTrack would be (theoretically) what I was looking for but it's completely useless:
- It's too laggy and with a big delay in the display of the information.
- The maps are really awful, I prefer Google Maps interface.

Regarding heart rate, you can use ANT+ to display it in your phone. If your phone supports that protocol, lucky you! If not, you have to buy an OTG adaptor plus an ANT+ receiver. The bad: The bicycle cases for mobile phones doesn't have enough space to carry all this...

My favourite option right now is just open Waze while I am with my bicycle. At least, you have speed and a map.

There are hundreds of Android apps that do what I want but I'm trying to avoid the use of the GPS in my phone (while I'm using my Garmin Fenix GPS!). I can't believe that Garmin hasn't resolved this yet!

I have the same issue. Sad that in three years seems not solved at all.
