My entire bike is BLE sensors to pair to the phone, including my power meter. I'm hoping someone here knows how I can get all this RWGPS data to a display unit?
Thinking about it in reverse(or probably what actually considered "forward"), I'm wondering if I should pair everything to a head unit and then upload to RWGPS somehow? I hate the extra step but maybe it somehow automatically does that now?
Sorry guys, I've been out of the loop for a while and haven't caught up. Hoping for a bit of guidance? Mounting the cell phone to the bars would in fact cover the issue, but glare, security, and battery life come into play, thus the beauty of the RFLKT.
Wahoo RFLKT was a weird beast, depending as it did on a mobile phone. It was either ahead of its time (some 13 years ago now), or obsolete on release, and in either case an evolutionary dead-end.
In any case, any new head unit, like a Wahoo, Garmin, Bryton, etc., should be a drop-in replacement. A limiting factor may be the number of BT connections you need. If you're just working with power, heart rate, and cadence, you should be fine. I know Wahoo units support 3 BT connections; if you have a speed sensor, too, for example, that would be a no-go, but you can just use the GPS given speed, so no biggie.
Set up on a GPS head unit is straightforward and easy these days; you'll be prompted to connect to RWGPS and a variety of other sites, like Strava.
