So, just orered the Bodylink system from Al's Gift Shoppe (great deal, got the whole package including data recorder for less than the watch, HRM and GPS unit would cost me here). A few questions:
1. It seems you can switch between Imperial (mph) and Metric (kmh) fairly easily. Can you do this mid-run? Does it also change your odometer?
2. How long does the GPS unit take to start working with the watch? Obviously, I can't take it into the water for the swim, but will I be able to turn it on quickly when I get to the bike? Or does it take a while to synch up?
3. For those people who use macs, I know the software isn't usable on OSX. Can you use it with virtual PC? Will the mac "see" the USB cable and data? Can you export that data into a mac-readable file (such as excel)?
Thanks.
