The perfect bike gps for strava users who dont have garmin edge
If you cant afford exorbitant price of garmin edge but your smartphone cant keep up its accuracy and battery for longer rides, IGPsport is a blessing. I knew nothing about the brand but based on reviews across youtube and amazon i went ahead with purchase. The price was too good and i had low expectations. The gps exceeded all expectations so far.The gps tracking is super accurate along with other data such as speed. Does not require anything but just mount it on your bike and ride!I will definitely look into buying from igsport again in future and recommended it to my cycling friends.Few feedbacks to igsport:- smartphone app: app functions nice and syncs with strava but the ux needs to be polished..looks like made in a hurry.- gps unit: label the menu so i dont have to remember what e1-e4 menu options mean.

Great value device.
If you're not willing to spend over $200 for a GPS biking computer, then this device is for you. It functions just as good as the big brands. Distance is very accurate. I compared it to the Strava smartphone app (which is only as accurate as your phone's GPS radio) and Google maps. To do this, I took it for a drive on my way to and from work a few times. On the bike, I did a several rides in the neighborhood where I repeated a 3 mile loop and used the lap counter. I also did some laps on a nearby trail where the true distance is known. You do not need to download any software or app for your phone to use this device with Strava; you simply connect the device to the PC and upload the file(s). A few notes:1. The backlight will stay on if you use the device after sunset. There is NO way to turn it off. I confirmed with the manufacturer.2. If you power the device off, it will save your data. For some reason, my device will no longer stop recording if I hold down the button for 2 seconds as illustrated in the instructions.3. The lap counter starts at '1'. It would be nice if it started at '0' because one may wish to ride to a certain point on the road or trail, then start your laps.UPDATE 07/29/2019After using this device I have noted a few other issues:1. DST does not seem to be automatic as the manufacturer claims. I had to change the time zone on mine to get the correct time after DST went into effect in the USA in March.2. If you move SLOWLY, it appear not to record well, or at all. Twice I had a ride where I had to push up a hill for a long period of time. The device did not record the distance or elevation correctly. I confirmed this by taking the device hiking, where it did not record large portions of my hike because I was moving slow (<2 MPH).Overall, I'm still happy with the device based on cost alone. Hopefully the manufacturer can address some of the above issues with a firmware update.UPDATE 09/04/2019I noticed an issue with the recorded elevation on this device. It seems to be off, WAY off sometimes. A few rides it recorded approximately HALF of the total elevation recorded by other devices carried by friends or my phone. On 10 laps around the neighborhood, on the exact same route, the elevation drops every lap. This may be corrected, on Strava at least, by using the 'Correct Elevation' function, but it shows this device may not accurately account for changes in elevation. Changed to three stars because of this.UPDATE 03/01/2020The accuracy of this device has shown to be off on trails with tight turns. While there is some % of error with all GPS devices, it may be a lower cost GPS receiver or whatever used by the device, but it is consistently recording less mileage on tight trail systems. On the road, however, it seems fine.

DO NOT attempt to upgrade the firmware from their WEB Site.
The device looks like it could have been a good purchase. I put about 20 miles on it and then decided to follow the Chinese Web Site instructions to update the device firmware. The unit locked up and refused to update the displays afterwards, but the speed function worked, and it still locked onto the GPS sat signals. Speed was the ONLY thing that worked after the firmware update. I have contacted the manufacturer and I am waiting to see if these people will send me a new unit.No new unit. To continue with this review, I have to revise my original input. After spending some time on their web site I located a drop down menu with earlier versions of firmware. After reloading the original firmware version and completing a factory reset on the device, it is now working as it originally did when I received it. So, I am happy with it now. In general, the device is the right size and has enough functions for my riding style. It does receive GPS and does give the data it is advertised to give. I give it a thumbs up for style and functionality. Just don't try to update the firmware.

Wasn't worth it for me
I bought this hoping it would cover my basic needs, the computer itself was OK and the out-front mount was great. The issue was that the device was unreliable in that it would "auto pause" and then fail to resume, or other times I would get tired of waiting for it to sync location (after several minutes) and ride anyway, I frequently completed an entire short ride before the computer ever registered location and started tracking or reporting speed data. To further the annoyance, their iOS app is metric only....so while the computer itself allows setting imperial units, anything you archive in the app itself is metric only unless you export/share it with some other service.I returned it and am just using a QuadLock mount for my phone with any of the apps, the setup far exceeds anything this computer offered in every fathomable way.

Buyer Beware
I noticed there was a pretty big difference in the data collected on this computer and Strava on my phone. I knew the temperature was way off. I live in Georgia and it’s hot as hell right now, this thing didn’t get above 82 and most of the time it says 71. I decided to test the accuracy of this computer, and Strava with my car. I live 12.6 miles from the trails I ride. Strava came in at 12.4 and this little guy came in at 7.4. I’m very disappointed.

All You Need To Know At A Great Price
My wife gave me a Specialized Sport bike for Christmas and I wanted a computer to help me understand my basic riding skills. I identified a 5.5 mile circuit and the iGS50E provides all of the data I need and more. I live in a relatively flat area devoid of large tree cover so no problems with the GPS. Much less expensive than some other units and has only B&W screen, but tracks as well and as accurately as those in a 3 - 5X multiple in price. It is waterproof, a big deal in South Florida. 5 laps are stored on the unit and you must download or it will record over your data. Not a big deal with Strava. Pairs with IOS and Android for mapping. Long battery life and bright screen easily read in direct sunlight. I highly recommend this unit as an inexpensive but fully functional bike computer.
