There is the difference. This is sold before it is available. The "other" brand is still gathering dust...

Guys, did a very lekker route last night...good video quality...smooth, but kicks realistically on climbs and shouldnt take more than 1 hour to do...little 1 hour power session

Down loaded this earlier in the week, will give it a go next week. Thanks for the heads up. Really enjoying the choice, but finding some courses erratic with incline changes...Back to reality with Modders on the weekend

By "video" do you mean footage of the actual road view i.e. google street view?

Swiss...no google earth you get on all the rides..This is an actual video that speeds up or slows down depending on your speed of said course. So not google street view...actual footage if that makes sense

I have never done a bad course ito erratic incline changes...all of them have been very smooth and really what sets VR training app above the rest. The magic sauce is when you can smooth out bad data when you create a course so you dont get the "step" effect

[rouxtjie]

Oh and swiss here is the best part....Its free, no additional geld, its all bundled in your VR subscription. Unlike other trainers where you have to put more money into it if you want to ride a course with video.

So who filmed the footage, the guy who uploaded the route with a Gopro type camera?

Yip, exactly...there are some really nice ones. Powertap had a comp recently where the best new route will win some prizes. So because its open, everyone shares in the benefit of your route. Dave also created in and around cpt that are very cool...with video that is.

 

You open VR interface, play with a couple of sliding bars(distance / meter climbing / video / gradients) to suite whatever your palette likes on the night and boom, up pops 20 or 30 routes that fall within those parameters. You select one, calibrate your powerbeam and off you go

 

Praaap. Couldnt be easier. Nice thing is you can toggle between different screen whilst you riding, you can look at the video and if you gatvol of that, flip to google earth position map and then even to a chart with the metrics plotting real time. Or if you really serious go to zones view that will show you where you are sitting wrt training zones and time spent within them. Pretty polished

As part of the induction into VT life you must do Alp d'Huez

Stick a Garmin Virb on the bike, or car. Record the route. What is nice about the Virb Elite is that it creates a gpx / track file as well. Using VT you import the files, then you sync the gps data with the video.

Bit time consuming, but it works. Gopro also works good, just pull the gps data from a garmin edge or similar unit and sync them.

Hehe...its been done already

 

Ive got a particular 15 km climb in mind (just for Dips) that i can see from my couch at home, starts at 425m asl and ends at 1800m

I need to pluck up the courage and do it before winter (15km downhill gets a bit chilly and tricky in winter)

I emailed VT about this. These courses can only be done on the VT desktop version. To ride the course, you have to publish it. There is no way to transfer your ride with video to the IPAD. With Video at a few gig, this could take a while... if you control your Power Beam with an IPAD with license like I do, it is a bit disappointing...would be nice to use Garmin Virb on the next local ride and load directly to the Ipad for use as a comparative training session. Please tell me there is another way!

Not sure how the ipad version works. Forgot to add that I use pc version.

Yes. There is and have done it...making a course that I can ride on the Ipad. PS I am also on the Ipad version.

 

So here is what you do...

 

Do the ride and capture the data(GPX and or video)

Then...download desktop version of virtual training

Create route from data and sync with video and upload to cloud.

After about 2 days, the route you created will appear on the map on ipad version

 

Here is the kicker, you dont need a license to create routes on the desktop version, the free version works perfect for this.
