Pairing Newton to a Hammerhead Karoo?
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2018 4:50 pm
I have a Newton5 with the GT upgrade which allows me to transmit power data to a Garmin head unit. In theory, should the GT upgrade allow me to pair to a non-Garmin GPS head unit (in this case, a Hammerhead Karoo)? The Karoo supposedly has both ANT+ and Bluetooth pairing capabilities, but it's been ridden with a plethora of bugs, and my pairing attempts with the Newton have been unsuccessful (I've been able to pair my Garmin ANT+ heart rate strap and hub wheel speed sensor, howver).
Also, is the Newton's transmitted data limited to the power field, or can it transmit other data? I ask because, in my experience, it seems that the Newton's ability to calculate grade% (speed of response and accuracy) is superior to that of dedicated GPS devices, including Garmin's. Thanks.
