I'm referring to the computer head that comes with the PowerTap Pro+, specifically. But, I think it's the same as comes with the SL+ and SLC+, too.
I currently use a Forerunner 305 on my bike. I have it set up to watch current cadence, current heart rate, distance and time. And, with a single button push, I can get to a bunch of other metrics, including current speed. I also have it set up to auto-lap every mile (which flashes up the time it took for the last lap/mile automatically) and I have a distance alert set up for every 4 miles (so it beeps every 4 miles, reminding me to drink).
I'm sure that once I add the PowerTap, one of the metrics I'll want to continuously monitor is current Watts. So, here are my questions...
How many data fields can be set up on each screen of the PowerTap CPU? Are they programmable? Is it possible to have (at a minimum) Watts, current cadence and current heart rate on the same screen?
Can the PowerTap CPU be set up to auto-lap and/or does it have distance alerts, similar to what I have now with my Forerunner? If so, do the auto-lap and distance alerts work the same way as they do with the Forerunner (ie. flash up time for last lap for auto-lap, beep for distance alert)?
If the PowerTap CPU can't do these things, can anyone confirm that the Forerunner 310XT can?
Thanks.
