Use the thin lanyard that comes with GPS units to wrap round your bars, its saved mine many a time when the unit has broken loose from the mount and wants to hit the deck!
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.
Thanks for the review. Near the end you say you can use the app on the phone as a tracker if you don't have the head unit. Could you for instance use the both at the same time? The head unit front and center with your speed in nice big numbers etc with your phone on the crossbar with a live moving map allowing g you to navigate on the go as it were. Thank you.
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.
Didnt even pair the sensors, worthless review. You got it for free and behave like primadonna, if you dont want the product, why even agree to get it...
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.
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.

Shouldn't the Garmin sensors work with this?
