Re: Enhanced map feature coming soon to Isaac

As a suggestion for next upgrade, perhaps if we can zoom in and out of the map (enlarge to see more details), that will be even better.

Thanks again.

Re: Enhanced map feature coming soon to Isaac

This is fantastic! Thanks very much. Ability to resize the panes is great. Also ability to highlight sections of the ride on the map and view the stats is extremely useful. :D

Re: New Isaac 2.6.2 software

Yes, I do realise that you can manually highlight climbing sections to view the stats. This is useful for hill repeats. Actually, what I am looking for is the total average for the entire ride. Since, the software already works out total climbing in meters for the whole ride, surely, it is easy to a...

Re: Speed and Distance way off from Garmin

I know what the problem is. You mentioned setting the wheel size in Isaac but did you actually set the wheel size in the Newton itself or "send profile to Newton"? I suspect not as your ride file posted above has your wheel size set as 2088mm instead of 2096mm. Change that and it should ma...

Re: After a bit of info on the options of a Newton

Yes, I was wondering myself. When Newton first launched, there was a Newton and a Newton+ (Powerstroke wasn't developed yet!).

The difference was larger memory size for saving ride files.

Is that still the case now, or are all Newtons on sale the same memory size? :?:

That can happen if at the end of the ride, you abruptly exited the App by pressing the Home button or if you pulled your iDevice out of the booth while the app is still running. The correct way to log the ride properly is to hit "End Current Ride" before doing any of the above actions. I u...

Re: At long last, the iBike Newton!

John
Are you intending to make the ISAAC software available to all iBike users or is this only for Newton?
I'm thinking that this is probably an evolution from the "Boyd in a Box" or Tools-Check Calibration option in Ver 6.1.2
