A Great GPS... But always difficult to connect to your phone.
Started out positive. Was excited about it... I opened it and I installed the app. It immediately connected to my phone, and I started changing settings. I took it on a quick bike ride and it seemed to track mileage and speed accurately. Grade % is a nice feature, but is about 3-5 seconds delayed. Seems to be a combo of both GPS dats and accelerometer.THE BAD NEWS: it only connected to my phone that one time. I have tried everything. Even reinstalled the app and started fresh. Turned on and off Bluetooth. No way to connect to it. No way even to upload my first test ride. I guess it's an useless device if I can't upload.UPDATE: I've been about to successfully connect after each ride, but only after removing the device from my phone in the app each time. It's not too painful, but it's pretty dumb that I can't just I've the device connected to my phone and sync successfully. Either way, I also tried 2 other cheap gps models - meilan and xoss, and both had issues acquiring GPS and getting accurate data, though both were easier to get the data off of and connected to my phone more easily. Xoss had a better app than iGPSport, and the Bluetooth connection was more reliable. In the end, I kept the iGPSport and returned the xoss and meilan, because the iGPSport has better GPS accuracy, despite the difficulty getting it to connect with my phone.

Excellent price for a GPS bike computer
I needed a GPS bike speedo because I have a hub dynamo- it's a hub which generates electricity by turning magnets. These magnets interfere with the normal sensors normal lower priced speedos use, as they also use a single magnet which is attached to a spoke. (I bought a Cateye padrone in Oct 2018 after installing my dynamo, and it was either not working, or it gave ludicrous numbers like 70+ kmh when I was just rolling in the car park the store was in)I received it 2 days ago, Yesterday I mounted it, followed the instruction to enter the wheel size, and that was it. It's straight forwards to use. There are 4 lines of data on the screen. This is fixed. There are 4 pages or different screens of data. There are 2 buttons. You press the right one to scroll through them. You can't customise what data you see, beyond flipping through to the screen you want. But to customise a GPS bike computer this size, you'd paid at least x3 more.I cycled around the neighbourhood for about half an hour near sunset yesterday. It works well, no glitches so far.The mount uses x2 elastics. I found it a bit fiddly, but at least there's a backup elastic if one of them snaps.The backlight works too.So far, the only negative is the amount of time it takes to turn on. You press the left button to turn it on, and then you get a screen with every LCS item lit up, and it stays for quite a while, subjectively, perhaps 6-10 seconds, at least mine does. Maybe I'll learn that pressing the on/off/play button different durations or force will hasten this.I'll upload pics later- I'm using a colleague's computer and don't have a USB cable.My 5 star rating is for the item's functionality given it's price. It is not going to compare to a $700 Garmin.One final note. iGPSPORT has x2 pages for this item. This one seems to be the most popular, and at the time of ordering, the price was about USD $75. The other one, which only had x1 review on it, was selling it for USD $64. I looked at both pages a long time to see the difference, but I honestly could not see any, so I ordered from the $64 one. As of today, both pages have equalised their prices to USD $69. I don't know why they keep 2 pages up for the same item.

This thing is great.
This GPS speedo is just what I needed. It tells me speed, elapsed time, distance and has an odometer.There is also a thermometer and incline indicator. It does miles or kilometers. There are no wires or wheel magnets to mess with. I tried to buy a budget model for about thirty dollars from another maker, it just wouldn't work, I went through two of them. This one works. It does not come with an out-front bike mount, that will cost you another ten dollars.

GPS Unit Good - App not
This GPS unit is accurate and easy to read and understand, although there is a few second delay. It presents a lot of information that can be reviewed in a phone app. The problem is the phone app often does not connect with the GPS unit. So then you have to reload the app to get the data from the GPS unit. If not for this connection problem, I would give the product a 4 or 5 stars.

Works great
this thing works great. Some times a little slow picking up a satellite. But usually only happens when I start it in the metal shop. Seems really accurate run it next to my son with his high dollar Garmin. So far have 350+ miles with it.
