Andriod phone and cycling

Hi, I was thinking of a sep. doc that has bike progs or just a gps mode. I will use an NFC in my mount. I am using a Garman 605 also which I biught years ago.

IF I get a Road Bike seperate then 2x NFC's one for each

Any good heart rate mons or anything? \phone is an oppo find 5, wanna rec cam and even stream it maybe if wanted my mum, or someone can see my location/stream/gps?

1) "sep. doc": please explain what you mean.
2) Is the Garmin Edge 605 relevant in any way to the Android phone? Are you planning on
3) You want to stream your video? Good luck with that reliably. (Although I'm sure there is a way to stream to a website that can be viewed).

==========

If you want to use the phone for GPS:
Strava + a recommended heart rate monitor from the Strava website.
With Strava you upload after your ride/walk/run is complete.

For tracking for other people to see your position, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greenalp.RealtimeTracker&hl=en

Whether your phone can multitask to both use the GPS at the same time, I do not know. Do some of the homework yourself.

i've just invested in a 'zephyr hxm for android' and it works with my nexus4 and strava really well. 80 quid though. finding a compatible decent hrm for android is trickier than for the apple devices

The Garman bussiness IDK. I paid 212 for it and fina lly got it bacek so I aint sure on use??? back up gps maybe or use it's gps and not the phones to save power?

What is a Garmin business IDK ?

BTW, only your Oppo Find 5 has NFC not your Garmin 605 so getting a tag for the 605 would be pointless.

Use twitch.tv to stream.

What is a sep. doc?
What do you mean by \phone is an oppo find 5?

It's a Tony Williams thread, not sure why you are attempting to understand it. They are all the same.

I ride and have two bikes, i have a Garmin 705 edge. My garmin has settings for two bikes so swap it between bikes. I have absolutely no idea what your talking about tho'

I want to use my Garman 605 and phone but probs play about with both. I need a mount for Garman. I got a phone dock coming with nfc stuck on but I reckon phone would die quick so IDK maybe one for one bike one for another lol!

Yeah lulz

Are you wanting to be able to get the garmin and android speaking to each othe so to speak using nfc ?

Not gonna happen. 605 doesn't support NFC.

Do you have pink tassels on your handle bars?

I think that would be my first investment before i enter the high tech, hip hop world of tomorrow, with their wire-free connections, pocket computers and the like.
