Is B.iCycle compatible with all iPhone devices?
The app needs GPS for precise calculation of the current speed, distance, calories and altitude. It will only work with the iPhone 3G and 3GS and not at all with the iPod touch and iPhone 2G. – B.iCycle says “Waiting for GPS”! What is wrong? I don’t get a signal although Google maps locates me! B.iCycle needs high-precision location data from the iPhone for the speed and distance calculations and even more for altitude calculation. This means that you need good reception for GPS. It is not enough to have the rough location that e.g. the built in Map app uses as we need to calculate speed and distance precisely compared to just display your position in a map. Therefore, your iPhone needs a clear line of sight towards the sky. That’s why we recomment using a bike mount. We have noted that on the first start of the application, it can take significantly longer (up to five minutes!) than at subsequent startups. This is a technical limitation that we can’t control. B.iCycle will calculate a
