No matter how much I may want to use only Mac computers, the harsh reality is that Windows is the dominant OS and various companies continue to only support Windows and ignore all other systems. The latest example is Garmin. Garmin makes a great cycle computer, the e 305, that incorporates a GPS unit, heart rate monitor, cadence sensor, etc... The only missing feature is a power sensor.
All the data is capture in the cycle computer and it can be downloaded to your PC for analyzes and to overlay the ride data on a course map - the Garmin Training Center software is included free of charge. But alas, it requires Windows XP. No Mac version is available, and none is planned, just like my Polar Cycling Watch. If I want to use the full capabilities of the unit I need to have a Windows PC.
Hi,
Which Polar cycling watch do you have? We support the 'S' series on Mac OS X with iSMARTtrain, and we're adding support for the CS200 in the near future. Drop me an email if you want more details,
Regards
