pietscher Added a reply to What GPS Lap Timer Should I Get?
11/10/2022 9:41am I develop MX Buddy in my spare time. The effort to build and maintain an Android version of the app is just too high for me at the moment.

11/8/2022 1:12am Btw, MX Buddy has Live Timing too (including heart rate and live speech). https://mxbuddyapp.com/live-timing
And it supports all kinds of GPS devices like RaceBox Mini, XGPS160, Garmin watches, Polar watches, Apple Watch, iPhone, etc. (https://mxbuddyapp.com/devices)

11/6/2022 11:35am What's your budget, and how accurate do you want to be? If you are just riding with your buddies...do you have a smart watch? If not, a Polar Vantage 2 is a popular one and the GPS works well for a watch. If you want to see which lines are making you faster, or better/more accurate lap data, then you will want a stand-alone device like the XGPS160. The XGPS can show which line you entered/exited or at least get close. Both the Polar watches and XGPS work with LitPro or MX Buddy. I highly recommend MX Buddy. The guy...

8/6/2022 7:44am Which Apple Watch did you get? I would suggest trying the free/cheap trial from LitPro. If you get consistent results then switch to MX Buddy.

6/5/2021 1:05am If you have the old Crossbox device (the XGPS160), then you can use it with apps like MX Buddy and LITPro. If you have the new device (the CBX20) you can't.

5/20/2021 12:36pm Also, heart rate spikes generally aren't immediate. During a moto, if you have a sketchy moment or hold your breath for example, it might take 5sec or so for your heart rate to spike. 5sec at 25mph is just over 180feet. So, when analyzing heart rate spikes on a GPS based location trace, you probably want to be looking some time or distance behind the spike for a more accurate location of the cause.

5/20/2021 11:15am Hi from LITPro! We're here just enjoying the conversation. We've got a bigger team of people working on LITPro than we've ever had in our 9 year history and are excited for what we've got in the works. It's also cheaper than it's ever been to get lap times with LITPro (including completely free if you already have a Garmin or Polar watch). If you are new to tracking lap times we'd recommend you start there. And if you are interested in more advanced features and analytics including comparing against riding buddies or seeing leaderboards at your track then we...

5/20/2021 11:09am I would say that the Apps are similar (I've used them both..) but your GPS is better. That is obviously your bread and butter. I completely agree, pairing a GoPro and/or CrossBox or LITPro to any GPS app will gain you better results. The best thing I liked about MXBuddy was the file import support. As you know, not all devices are supported by CrossBox and LITPro. Yet with MXBuddy I can use ANY gps that exports a gpx file. Including a $40 Chinese GPS fitness watch (That will give you terrible, terrible results lmao). Also including arduino's, rasberry pi's...

5/20/2021 11:02am This thread is about LITPro vs Crossbox 😉 If your HR spikes in specific regions on the track, you are maybe holding your breath. You could set yourself “breathing reminders” on jumps or straightaways.

5/22/2021 12:28am Hey there. I’m Chris, the developer of the MX Buddy app. And there are a couple of things I need to correct. 1. The XGPS160 is NOT required to use the MX Buddy app. You can use every GPS device you want (e.g. Polar, Garmin), except the CBX20 (and the old LITPro device which is not produced anymore). The Crossbox...

5/20/2021 9:49am Can you give me some sort of hardware comparison? Your hz rates? Your antenna? I go by hardware data not what the ski team says!

4/13/2021 2:32am Guys, you can do all that easily with the MX Buddy App. - No subscription needed - You get the full analytics functionality (map playback, compare laps, segment times and a lot more) - You decide what sessions you want to import from Polar / Garmin - You have full control over your track setup (finish line, segment gates) -...

5/11/2020 10:57pm I don't want to argue with you, but I've never seen any deviations in lap times of 1s and more with my Garmin or Polar watches / GPS devices! Mostly the deviations are well under half a second or even less. You will hardly ever see bigger zigzags on straight lines even with a GPS watch. Where you ride straight...

5/11/2020 1:25pm That's not quite right, Nino
It is true that most GPS watches only deliver one position per second, but the lap time deviations are usually in the range of less than 0.3 seconds. If you define your finish line in the middle of a straightaway, you can interpolate very well.

5/19/2019 12:59pm MX Buddy doesn't work with the Apple watch (yet). But if you have a watch app that allows you to export your recorded session as GPX or TCX (includes heart rate), you can import the session into MX Buddy.

4/7/2019 2:46am Garmin does not support direct-from-device data transfer. Users always have to first upload the their data to Garmin Connect. Garmin Connect offers an API for requesting that data, e.g. from other apps. But unfortunately their API is damn expensive ?
