It's the only open source heart rate monitor that Im aware of.
Are the ANT+ heart rate monitor chest straps not just sorta generic? I realize that's not the same as being open source, but if they're too single-function to be running nontrivial software at all then I don't care that much.
I mean not for navigation. But what do you need other than that? My friend send me safe routes to ride and I need some way to navigate them so that's why I have one.
Well, I was thinking it'd be nice to see info like speed, cadence, and other sensor data while I ride. And I admit, the fancier features on some bike computers, like "hill climb planning," seemed kinda neat.
