Cyclocomputer and watches

The cycle computer is a small bike computer that mounts a hardware system capable of receiving signals from GPS and sensors and reworking them on a small screen.
The development of GPS technology has allowed the introduction of some interesting features, in addition to the odometer, such as:

1. Ability to navigate via GPS system and view the route to follow on electronic maps. GPS cycle computers use information from software such as Google Maps and Google Earth to navigate or are equipped with maps preloaded by the manufacturer. The GPS system also allows you to have at your fingertips data such as the slope of an ascent or descent, altitude and barometric altimeter.
2. Heart rate control: some cycle computer models integrate the heart rate monitor functionality. By wearing a wirless band, connected directly with the device, on the chest or arm it is possible to detect heart rate.
3. Power control: the power is expressed in Watts. This is a particularly interesting function for all those who want to monitor their progress over time.
4. Calculation of all parameters: calculation of average, maximum speed, travel time and length of the route.
5. Data sharing: bikers who are part of professional groups love to share their statistics with their teammates and check and compare them with those of others.

1. Wirless cycle computer: the sensor and the computer communicate thanks to the wirless technology.
2. Cycle computer with wires: the cycle computer is positioned on the handlebar and is connected, via electric wires, to the spokes of the front wheel.
