+XopherN71 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Got my heart rate monitor today to use with the Colorado, I have to say it works better than I expected. After the initial 'pairing' it connects/disconnects automatically. The range seems to be good as well, more than enough for biking, hiking, walking, etc. Update refresh rate seems very accurate based on my limited experience with it so far. I look forward to seeing how it performs over the summer months while biking and Geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+jotne Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I do use both HR and Cadence sensor. It des log both in the current.gpx log. Problem is that Garmin Training Center does not support it yet. Quote Link to comment
+Team Chinook Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Will any heart rate belt work with the Garmin units? I have a Suunto unit that would be great if it worked w/ the colorado, or any of those other Garmin arm units. Can you do anything with the data that comes out of your workout today? - Team Chinook Quote Link to comment

The good thing is that all garmin heart rate monitors work with ALL of their devices that support heart rate data (same thing goes for speed/cadence sensors). Currently, you can use software called SportTracks to view your hear rate, speed, distance and GPS Location data. Check it out. It is pretty good stuff.

+fourbeer Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Thanks! That does look pretty nifty! -Team Chinook Using Sporttracks, I was able to import my workout from my polar heart monitor and then import my workout track from my Garmin Colorado. Sometimes the time is a little off, but it wasn't too bad. That might get you started while you are waiting to get a Garmin heart monitor strap. I was very impressed with the Garmin heart monitor after I purchased one. Better resistance to interference than my Polar (at least where I run). No more 250 bpm heart rates.
