Latest update to Tacx software

jimmythecuckoo

I am really impressed with the latest update to the Tacx software.

The Android app now streams 1st person perspective video and there are a number of classic routes uploaded.

I rode the final hour of Milan San Remo the other night and it was savage !

Has anyone got any routes that I might have missed that they could share?

Do you mean the TACX movies?
There are a good range of them in the tacx app. You may need the premium package to access them though.

I didn't have any downloaded but they are now streaming on the app which is brilliant.

I am a premium user though.

Downloaded the app yesterday to try out, the speeds were a bit off I'm sure it said I was cruising along at 30mph on the flat, unless I wasn't looking closely enough and it was kph?, Question: when uploaded to strava, does it show the route you've taken?

Hi there,

It does show the virtual route on the ride when it syncs with Strava. Hope this helps.

Thanks Jimmy, yes, I tried a couple inc Mallorca stage 1 last night (you weren't the Jimmy on there last night were you?) works a treat, the gradient changes seem a bit more accurate than fulgaz, have unsubbed from Zwift to use this for the winter as I much prefer to cartoon based training

Does this mean that this Tacx page is out of date?
https://tacx.com/product/tacx-software-how-it-works/#compatibility

ie. that page still says no "Films" on mobile, just desktop.

Hopefully things are changing and Tacx is moving on from its doomed desktop-first "strategy".

yeah - even the picture of the app on the mobile above that is not what it looks like now.

I wasn't but there is no reason we can'y organise a group ride.

would make it a bit more interesting, though getting convenient timings to work thats other matter.

True, I usually ride after work as well so it could be 6pm or any time either side.

There have been further updates recently with climb challenges added amongst others.

I am still getting round Europe with this app.

Anyone got any good video routes to suggest.

Loving the sunflower one in France.
