Hi,

I've googled this but can't seem to find anything that answers this question. I'm currently using my Turbo Trainer with a HRM & a Cycle Computer rigged to my rear wheel & Cadence Sensor.

I was wondering is there anyway to replace these with a Bluetooth/Ant+ HRM, Cadence & Speedo & output it straight to an Android tablet. I think it's available for iPad and called EZtrainer.

Does anyone know if the Galaxy Tablet is Ant+ compatible?

Thanks in advance.

I gave my wife my iPad, so it might prove an issue getting to use it as much as I'd want.

    If the tablet has a usb port then you could maybe just plug a Garmin ANT+ usb stick in and use the Golden Cheetah realtime stuff.
    More problems but still living....
  • You might want to look at TrainerRoad a great program which uses ANT+

  • Thanks, I'll check those out. Can't quite work out if these are Android compatible. My Tablet does have a USB port.

    Try the Endemondo app. Should do all you want.

  • Thanks, I know the apps now. It's the cadence sensor, speedo, etc. to work with my Android Tablet. I've seen the Polar Wearlink will work but that's only an HRM.

    You can do what it is you want to do with an ANT+ usb stick and Golden Cheetah (which is a free download) on a PC or laptop. No idea if it'd work on an Android tablet though.

  • As far as I can tell there is no ANT+ support for my Android Tablet at the moment, some Sony Phones are supported. So I was wondering about straightforward Bluetooth HRM....Any thoughts anyone?
