AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Follow up on this thread... 1) My Mac / NEwton issues were because I had some old iBike software. Tech support directed me to the additional file to download and everything works fine now with Isaac and Newton "talking" together. 2) The GT Newton+ I ordered was actually just a Newton+ (no ...

Get a Garmin Edge 800 and purchase the GT firmware for Newton. Mine works great! I love the garmin customized screens. Also, you get GPS data and Navi features with the Edge 800.

I bought a a "BarFly" mount for my Garmin Edge 800 which ran me about $40. THe position of the Edge is really nice. I set it up on my Parlee with Campy (no other power meter works -- unless I drop $2-4,000). Very forward and dont need to drop my chin to see the data. I rarely look at my Ne...

Must be an Edge 800 thing or something wrong with my unit. Your Garmin 910xt setup is similar to the Edge 800. Going through your procedure does not pick up the Newton. I have a selection option of "Sensor Details". When I touch that one, it says "Not Connected" and "Sensor ...

Thanks for the quick response! I'll send you an email regarding polarized display issues. I just checked my Battery Charge and it is now at 100%. So it looks like it is charging fine when connected to my computer. Do I have to connect my Newton+ GT to Isaac in the setup process in order for the Edge...

Does anyone know why Isaac crashes on my Mac when I try to setup up my Newton+ GT? I successfully installed Isaac and then deleted my old iBike software on my Mac. Newton seems to work find on reading old iBike data. I'm guessing that I need to do this setup step for my Newton+ GT to talk to my Garm...

I currently have a Dash+Power but plan to sell it on Craigslist next week when I get my Newton delivered. Before that, I had an iAero Gen 3. I'm going to replace my Dash with the Newton+ and Edge 800 setup. My biggest complaint about the Dash are the battery issues. Your iPhone needs to be 100% char...

I just started my coaching program a few weeks ago. My coach has me doing intervals. I suspect that is what the "Lap" feature on the bottom left corner is used for... I tap Lap during my ride to start the interval but I'm not sure if I got it going, because I just see (sometimes) a subtle ...

A few features I believe were originally advertised (first release of iDash + Power) we are still waiting for... 1) fully customized power workouts we create for each ride 2) navigation cues for a pre-planned route. I believe Garmin has this feature. Any word John on when we might expect to see thes...

I had the same problem with my Dash. I started my ride with a fully charged iPhone and put in a freshly charged battery. After only 1.5 hours, my iPhone was dead. When I got home, I placed that battery in the charger and it showed a green light. The spring contacts in the Dash did not align with the...

That is odd... That also happened to me yesterday. I just thought it was some random glitch.

Whiter whites would be nice! Sounds like a laundry commercial... but seriously, if I could inject my #1 feature request, it would be to have whiter fonts for better contrast. I love the change to the black background but the font color remained as an off-white. The plastic screen on the Dash darkens...

Cyclemeter has a great Calendar feature in their iPhone app. I would love to see something similar on the iBike. As you can see from this screenshot, it has a simple graphic triangle showing how your current ride compares to previous rides of the same route. Solid green is best (fastest), half green...

I had a iAero Gen III and upgraded to iPhone. My main reason was to safely transport my iphone. I feel much safer with my iPhone in the iBike "phone booth" than in my back jersey pocket. Replacing my iPhone before my 2-year contract is up will cost $400+. In my iAero, I had had just about ...

Got it! Thanks! Do you have any plans on linking power data to map data? I would be interested to see points on my iBike data (power/speed/etc) correlate those directly to the goggle map. I can guesstimate now but seems like an obvious pairing of data. When might we expect to see something like that...

Can anyone tell me the steps to viewing my ride on Google Earth or Google Maps for a .ibd iBike ride file collected on my 3G iPhone? Google Earth won't open that file for me.

Thanks for that info. So, if I initiate a text message (or phone call with BlueTooth) in the middle of one of my rides by pushing the home button on my iPhone (but keeping it in the Phone Booth), will the same thing happen with my ride NP numbers starting from zero. Or is loss of the display of NP j...

last week I took a phone call on my iPhone in the middle of one of my rides. After I placed the iPhone back in the Booth, I noticed that my on-screen normalized power started over at zero. However, when I got home and uploaded my ride data, it seemed to capture all of the data correctly. I guess it ...

I like the changes you made! My only suggestion is to make the white background, more white. With the color of white background in the app being an off-white, then place it in the iDash with the screen giving it another layer of shade, then the use of sunglasses (most cyclists), then the shade of tr...

I just posted a product review on the Apple website. I encourage other iBike Dash owners to do the same.

John -- Thanks for your quick response. A few follow up questions:

1) When do you plan to update your app software for the iBike Dash? You might not have an exact date, but do you have a ballpark idea?

2) Will this update include audio notices for intervals or navigation?

thanks!

I got my new iBike Dash last week and I'm quite impressed with the overall quality and design of the product. I have been using a Gen III iAero this year and love it. I was intrigued by the iBike Dash concept and wanted to give it a try. I don't think I'll be using my iAero anymore... iBike is well ...
