We’re in Bicycling!
ByStuartiSMARTtrain featured in the ‘Staff Choice’ section in the Jan/Feb ’06 issue of Bicycling magazine. Executive Editor Bill Strickland says “a full-function riding log (including heart rate and altitude) that flawlessly allows a Polar monitor to speak to Mac”.

Polar S625x

Deleting Portions of a Session
ByStuartIn V4.1.1, a new feature allowing you to delete sections of a session was introduced. This is useful, if, like me, you sometimes forget to stop your Garmin after a ride, and it records the drive home as part of your data.To delete a section, simply select the area in the ‘Data Graph’ view (drag…
Polar WearLink Transmitter

Can’t wait to see 4.0 Steward!
What? Something is happening? I’d finally reached the point of assuming that iSMARTtrain was dead and have been looking for alternatives. Sorry for the snark, but I’d really like to move on to a device more recent than my decrepit 11 year old Polar. I’d love to stay with iSMARTtrain. If the product is still alive, give us an ETA for the update and what devices it will support.
Hi,
No ETA yet – hoping to open the beta testing up to more users later this month – at the moment, I’m using a handful of testers to hopefully get the majority of bugs ironed out.
V4.0 will support all the Garmin devices, Cycleops Joule & Cervo, SRM PC V, VI & VII and all the Polar devices that V3 supported. I hope to support the newer Polar devices and the Suunto ones, but this may be through their websyncing software.

Will V4.0 go with my “Polar RC3GPS”? I’m looking for a software like iSMARTtrain! Can you send me a message, when it’s ready?
