Can I use my Garmin sensors and magnets or do I have to switch out?

I use my Garmin sensors and magnets, I actually have a front mount for the iBike and I still keep my Garmin 500 to record GPS, I then pair the two sets of data and I get both power and GPS files to upload.

Simple answer is yes - it's what I use (the Garmin sensors with the IBike).

No u can use your sensors!!! When I brought the bike to the shop they used the Prevoius wireless sensors I had on there and gave me back the sensor that comes with the ibike Newton. I love using it works great for me has been with every penny!!! The set up was interesting but not all that difficult watch YouTube videos and good luck:)

You can use your Garmin sensors or any other ANT+ sensor. I use a Garmin on my road bike and the iBike one on my commuter. Both work flawlessly.

Obviously not your HR, but the speed sensor is a sort of "back up" to your speed & elapsed distance for instances where you are not picking up an adequate GPS signal, like when riding in a forest, near power lines or have a lot of hill/mountain obstructions. I highly recommend the sensor, as I have owned 2 Garmins now, & there are many cases where you will lose your signal.

Not really. My Garmin has a cord that comes out of the back of the unit and the clam shell blocks the cord.

I use GPS all the time with no problem. I also put both magnets for maneuverability.

Specifically, I don't know, however the sensors used for street traffic cover a much larger area on the ground that a gate sensor would. That said, I cannot recommend the Amanet unit which did not work for me at all. I tried 6 intersections near my home and nada. Do some research on Google and you will find that the good/no use ratio is right at 50% so if you're into flipping coins, go for it. Also ran across one writer that said he works on these magnetic traffic systems and says that they are not responsive to bike mounted magnets. Maybe need to verify this.

Understand that (it appears as if) the "app" is flexible and the units of measure can indeed be changed, however the GPS Pro itself is permanently fixed to read MPH, not Kph. A quick visit to the BAD Elf web site did NOT answer the question either.Here is a link to the owner's manual. I saw no mention of being able to switch units on the device LCD screen.Have a look...http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0227/2953/files/BE-GPS-2200-User-Guide-r1.2.pdf?760

I have an Exerpeutic recumbent bike with motorized magnetic settings. And I wish I didn't. The mechanism is fubar'd, they are telling me to ship the entire bike back (100 lbs) at my expense, so the warranty is essentially useless. Instead, I have removed the covers and use a wrench to manually turn a cable nut to change the resistance. I wish I had bought something with a simple, manual dial like the MagneTrainer (which is what brought me to this web page where I read your question).

I'm sorry I don't know that. You could call Garmin. I am really happy with mine.

You should ask Garmin as they would have to have the maps you need to load to use it there.

Didn't work for me. I called Garmin and was told it wasn't supported anymore

The display can be replaced by Garmin. They have a repair/update policy that will take care of your problem for $99 + tax. Contact Garmin.com with your request.

Yes, I replaced existing window sensors of the same design and they work great!I did not replace the magnet portion of the set, as the magnets that were in the window frame were fine, and of a different style.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I never got it working. After an hour on the phone with Garmin they recommended that I return it, which I did. I went back to Polar.

Honestly... I do not know... good question for the Garmin folks... Have you tried the garmin support forums?

For the price difference, I opted to do without. However, take along an old fashioned "analog" compass with you. They can be purchased from any sporting goods store for ten bucks or less. (Never go without a compass in the bush. Batteries have been known to expire when out int he field, then your GPS will be worthless.)

I don't know about the magnets or the garmin gsc but it might help to know that this unit has to be installed on the back tire in order to take advantage of the cadence sensor that attaches to the pedal. The magnet is also super simple to install, no screw drivers you just twist it into place.

Typically, the magnet is mounted on the front wheel of the bike and the wheel must rotate for the computer to count the rotations. If you can attach the magnet on the back wheel, and still have the sensor cable reach the computer, it should work on your trainer.
