Any suggestions and or advice ?

I believe that the Garmin can only take a single sensor so it's either speed or cadence. If you use the cadence option, then you have to rely on gps for your speed.

 

Is this correct ?

not quite.

 

the speed/cadence sensor is one unit. If you are indoors and there is no gps signal, then it will use the speed sensor

No it isn't.  It can do both.  In fact the sensor unit that does cadence is the same unit that does speed.
