MotionX for iphone and HRM data

[IPA Rider]

So lots of people seem to like MotionX as an iphone app for charting ride data...but as a training tool, how do you include heart rate data?

Here is what Fullpower had to say when I asked about the possibility:

"Currently Apple has not opened up bluetooth serial communications to developers. Until this is enabled in the OS, external devices such as heart rate monitors cannot be incorporated into MotionX-GPS, but I'll ask the MotionX team to look into any possible alternatives."


Are there better alternatives (besides getting a Garmin Edge)?

I am awaiting the same solution. Polar just introduced a strap for Apple devices that's nice, but it will not work with iPhone. Bummer. I'll use a Garmin for now.

Wahoo + run/cycle meter. It'll do everything you want and then some. Wahoo .com or amazon.

Can you now use the Wahoo straps with MotionX on the iPhone? Has anyone tried it or are there better alternatives for heart rate monitor apps on the iPhone?
