Connecting PowerPod to Garmin Edge 1040

Post by danhc »

I am a new PowerPod user. When trying to connect to my Garmin Edge I found an option to add PowerPod. However although it is added to the Edge it will not connect. Finally I found another Power Meter Option called "Power 8961" which did connect. Since I don't have any other power meter I'm wondering if this is the PowerPod. I did not yet do the calibration ride. Thanks,
Dan

Hmm...do you have a DFPM on your bike? If not, are you close to any other power meters?

If not, then it's likely this is your PP. The number refers to its ANT+ ID.

The easy thing to do is to go for a short ride. If you see power numbers on your bike (and you don't have a DFPM) then this is your PP data!

BLE or ANT+

Is the Garmin picking up both modes of communication from the PP?
