You need a heart rate monitor that sends data via Bluetooth in real time (which the Cateye does not, as far as I know). Most heart rate monitors use the ANT protocol, which mobile phones do not understand.
Has anyone tried using a Cateye heart rate monitor??? Its a CC-HR2000W that connects to the wireless cycle computer...but i'd rather have all my data in one place on the run.gps....any help gratefully received.
The temperature measurement is not very relevant in the FRWD device because it is pretty inaccurate.
- the Zephyr is easier and more convenient to use and has an accelerometer (HxM)
- you should choose the FRWD device if you want to keep on using your existing pulse watch

Which Heart Rate Monitors work well with run gps? 2
Hi Tom and everyone who brought us this great software.I would like to write a letter to Santa Clauss to bring me a heart rate monitor to use it with my Eten X500 phone-pda.But my dilemma is which one.I think that the Zephyr is better but the option of the FRWD B Series with the temperature and barometer is something that I would like too.I have a ciclosport hac 5 which I 'm satisfied but I don't use it anymore because I really like to use the run gps with its features especially the voice info. What about the FRWD B600 (This product is no longer available).Isn'it? P.S The questions below are really useful to be replied.Thanks.

[edit - just checked the manual]
4.14.Using Heart Rate Monitors
The following ways exist to get a
heart rate monitor connected to
Run.GPS:
? Real time connection through
Bluetooth (recommended)
? Zephyr HRM
? Zephyr HxM
? FRWD B Series
? Adding heart rate data (afterwards) to the training report on the GPS-Sport.net portal
website
? Polar HRM files (file suffix „.hrm“)
? Oregon Scientific CSV files (file suffix „.csv“)
? FRWD Sports Computer TXT (file suffix “.txt”)
Data analysis is very restricted if you add your heart rate data afterwards (only simple
diagrams will be generated). In contrast to that, if you use a real time HRM connection via
Bluetooth, you can overlay the data gathered (heart rate, calorie consumption on basis of
heart rate, …) with the data coming from Run.GPS.
