yes, there are as u may know, cheaper ways to go then this device..but for multi-function yes it will work in that way

Yes, you can if you are in the area covered by GPS. I used it for boat ride and set it to display speed and distance.

Unfortunately it's range is only a few inches. You need some sort of GPS locator.

I'm not sureof the answer but I for sure want to test it to be sure of distance. I tested it. It seemed to work ok. There is a date on it when u get it.

It probably can record your routes for use over and over again. I ride mostly roads so it the best for GPS and bike computer that there is.

No, this is not for a bike. It's great for walking. My wife and I both have one. We are always about 300 or 400 steps apart which is accurate for this type of device. You may be able to find something for a bike that connects to the wheels.

It would measure crank rpm depending on app you use to receive signal..some apps require movement from GPS as well. I believe Strava has a stationary option.

No you would have to have a speed paddle on the transducer. Your unit will give you speed via the gps. It's a more accurate rating than the transducer would give

Yes, it should work on a bike and tells you your pace, i.e. 4 minute miles, 5 minute miles, etc. Should be easy math!

You could. But I dont see the point in that. I put it on a pocket rocket/moped for see how fast I was moving. If you calibrate it right you can see how fast and far you ride. I also used it on a 600 honda street/ trick bike, both application it worked well. Cuts out around 115 MPH. I recommend this product to anyone.

I'm using it right now to answer you. I use it while on the road, works great

Yes but the distance is terrible. You have to be right up close to use it. I would pay extra and get a good one.

I have not tried it on a bike of any kind and ask my colleagues who have one and they havn't either. It is not GPS oriented, for that you might want the app "map my walk" which also does bikes/stairs etc."

Yes, I guess you could. I sometimes use mine to look at land that is about 60 miles away.

If there is a mountain in the way, you won't be able to talk to someone on the other side since VHF is essentially line-of-sight. Weather and solar activity can significantly affect range. Since it is a handheld, and I believe only 5 watts, the higher up you are the better range you will get (line of sight). This one is special since it has a built in GPS which is now required for offshore racing.

no....that's too far a distance from the sensor to the unit.the alternative it to use a wired version with the sensor on the rear wheel & the unit mounted up front. I do that setup on a recumbent. You will need to get a longer cable; local bike store or cateye direct will be able to assist you with the longer cable. Another option is to mount the unit to the rear of the frame above the sensor on the rear wheel. I also did this type of setup on a recumbent, but i found it annoying that i had to stop & dismount to see the readings..

Yes it works just fine for biking using the foot pod. Of course you still need the strap for your heart rate. For overall watch for both running and biking I did fine the font was small and can be hard to read so it takes getting use too. I like to us my phone also and use like Mapmyrun or mapmyride app to compare distance via GPS.
