I've looked into this quite a bit, if you'd like to integrate with a HR Monitor/Cadience/Speed sensor the option that makes the most sense is to use the ANT(thisisant.com) wireless protocol to interact with any of the sensor made by garmin or suunto.Suunto produces a USB->Ant interface called the Suunto PC Pod. I was able to get it to work in linux using the documentation available on thisisant.com a basic proof of concept (that reads the Heart Rate data) in linux is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/suuntopcpod/ Since the Neo 1973 has USB Host, you could plug in the dongle and have it working without a problem. -Will On Dec 2, 2007 3:18 PM, Giles Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 2 Dec 2007, at 14:41, Christian Surlykke wrote: > > > Hello > > > > I'm interested in using the neo1973 as a bicycle-computer, utilizing > > it's gps abilities. > > > > Any comments/insights would be appreciated.. > > I have a Garmin Forerunner and the battery life is 10 hours.
