Interesting question - I don't think you can use the Coospo app to provide navigation whilst linked to the CS300, however I don't see any reason why you can't use another navigation app on your phone at the same time.

​@CyclingLabs thank you for your reply. It's not necessarily for navigation, just so I have a reference for where I am. I like to navigate on the go. But you're correct and that's what I do. I use the OSMaps app open (on the crossbar) with the map always up. If you track it gives you average speed and distance. I now have the Coospo running front and centre for live speed, distance, heart rate etc.

Glad it helped, thanks for the comment

I don't have my unit any more so can't help I'm afraid, I would suggest contacting Coospo Customer services who seem to be quite good when I've had a couple of glitches with their products

@@CyclingLabs I have posted this "simple" question on several boards and NOBODY KNOWS NOTHIN'! GEEZE!

Have you contacted Coospo directly on this email jp@coospo.com - they are usually quick to reply even with the time difference?

You are of course entitled to your opinion, however if you paid attention to the review you will hear that I don't have any sensors to pair with it. I agreed to get the product because Coospo asked me to review it even though they knew I was unlikely to use it long term because without navigation it doesn't quite have the feature set I need but when the next version with navigation comes out I would almost certainly keep it - it's got the potential to be a Garmin or Wahoo killer.

@@CyclingLabs Will you review CS500?

I hope to to, when Coospo offered to send me the CS300 they said the '500' would be available soon and they would send it to me once available so hopefully I will receive one - If not I may well buy one anyway to review. If it's as good as the two previous model I reviewed it is likely to very good value for money.

@@CyclingLabs I have CS300 and i have nothing to complain about, so i was wondering how their navigation model will fare. It also has the freeform data feature from BC200, where you can input any data type in any data field of the bike computer, while CS300 doesn't have this feature. I'm truly hoping that coospo will develop even better bike computer with open street map support, i wouldn't mind dropping a 200-300 usd for a unit like that, still cheaper than garmin and i prefer to support chinese companies tbh rather than american.

@@heksogen4788 A model with color screen and map coming soon, but not that expensive, 100-200

You are of course correct - I have never bothered before and its never been a problem. Once bitten, twice shy though, the replacement unit now has the lanyard permanently attached. You live and learn.

Interested to know how you get on, just had mine serviced and the mechanic was impressed by my 'hack'

My pleasure, glad you found it useful.

I don't think so, I'm afraid it's either all imperial or all metric from what I can see.

@@CyclingLabs yep, still a great computer, i bought one of amazon. Great paired up with a heart strap :-)

Thanks, glad it was of use to you.

I could see the line but not the map. But be aware this review is a couple of years old now and there may be better functionality in the app.

Good luck with that - looks like a complicated one. This simple one took 6hrs to build 😉

No, I'm afraid not - it is a pretty basic device to be honest but I guess that's reflected in the price.

I think one with Navigation could be a Garmin / Wahoo killer if they can keep the price down.

@@CyclingLabs yes indeed. Their is a review of one coospo with a NAV but I can't see it for sale anywhere. GCN won't show you Garmins cos they're in a contract with wahoo which I think has made them very wahoo biased. I suppose the Bryton rider is the compromise but still too expensive for the averagely endowed cyclist

The speed and cadence sensors are sold seperately although I'm informed that the unit should work with any ANT+ compatible sensor. I no longer have the unit so I cannot comment on that though.

They do not come with it. It can be paired with any Ant+ cadence or speed sensor. I got a set of Garmin sensors. Wanted the cadence sensor for my trainer sessions anyway. The speed sensor is kind of redundant, but will allow you to still track speed and distance (for the running total odometer) without a satellite lock. I've got the speed sensor on my road bike but I've also used this on my MTB without it and it has worked fine.

This gentleman is asking if the unit has automatic start?

No it doesn't - it's purely manual.

You're welcome!

I don't find it harsh but I have little frame of reference to be honest as I've only ridden alloy MTBs since the early '90s so maybe I'm just immune / used to it.

that's happening to me as well. Do you have any solutions?

Replacement screws can be obtained from Garmin or a watch repair outfit such as Timpsons. If it's the head of the screws try using a different sized screwdriver

I did check Wiggle out first (although I didn't see your vid) and they had nothing on there for less than £40 a pair (and still don't) so I suspect you had some end of line stock or something. I had an Amazon voucher to spend so went that route instead.

Hi, I've had a play with mine and I can't see any way to do this. This might be a question for the Coospo tech support people

The Coospo app allows you to do this.

Interesting, I've never had one, I will investigate with the LBS that supplied the bike to see if they can get hold of one for me.

@@CyclingLabs I know they are available because I lost the one that came with the bike. When I replaced the drive train after 35,000 k (23,000 mi) the bike was returned to me with a new grommet. Another way is to wrap electrical tape around the brake line. I also covered the exposed bare cables (under the BB) with color matching tape to keep the road dirt and spray from getting into the shift cables.

It fits on a standard Garmin mount - it comes with one in the box.

Thanks 👍

Yes, I've heard that some models are fitted with Torx screws - they are becoming more common and I use a cheap screwdrivre set from Amazon for low torque applications like this. amzn.to/3mLkHEn

@@CyclingLabs Sold! That's unbeatable value for money.

Thank you very much!

I agree but I struggled to get a Tiagra crankset to replace the stock FSA so went for the GRX instead.

Lovely

Thanks - glad you found it useful

BC107 doesn't have auto start, you have to push the middle button to start an activity. auto stop and auto backlight is available, but BC107 backlight is not as smart as BC200, because BC200 has a light sensor.

@@johnyen3620 Thank you for the explanation. Cheaper devices have automatic operation. But unfortunately they are too small and show too little data at the same time and have a small button battery. It is inconvenient to interfere with the operation of the device if you do not want to. It is not necessary to do this with cars, and why then with bicycles.

@@tomazstamcar2734 All these bike computers are not button battery anymore, they are rechargeable lithium battery now, and can be used more than 20 hours on each charge. Also, you can set the bike computer completely on your smartphone, because they are all Bluetooth now. So when you put it on the bike, you just need to push the start and end button. Check the video th-cam.com/video/S9BYaWEh00w/w-d-xo.html

@@johnyen3620 I am looking for a fully automatic device.

Just in hours and minutes

I think it's only a bit of thickish paper with the + symbol to help with battery orientation. I'd get hold of some of those sticky dots and put one or two in until you have created enough padding in the lid to stop the battery rattling loose. You could then use a pen to put the + symbol on the sticker to remind you of battery orientation.

@@CyclingLabs thank you! I thought it conducted something kind of signal.

You connect them via Bluetooth. Once you download the app on to your device it willlead you through the pairing steps.

@@CyclingLabs thanks 👍

My pleasure!

I'm pretty sure it does this natively. If you are transerring to Strava then it definitely will.

I think pressing any button will do it. I don't currently have mine to test it at the moment though as i've lent it to a friend.
