Thanks for the pic Rob. Yes that is a shame its not so flat on the back for the Quad Lock stick on adaptor.

Well the 5500 arrived today and definitely has no barometer but for the price it's OK, it runs blevo and screen is pretty good, android doesn't run as smoothly as it does on my s9 if I wanted it for anything other than the bike I'd probably pick another make, the back is pretty flat but still has a rubber feel to it so don't think I'd want to trust a stuck on type of mount

Quick question :
I am hoping t run this app with my 2019 kenevo and to tie in my Apple Watch (series 2) heart rate. Phone is iPhone 7 plus
I have enabled the watch per instructions, but it seems that I am only getting intermittent and/or erroneous heart rate infor. I have only pedaled around my yard but the hr will displayed 81 bpm or nothing at all. I checked on the watch while simultaneously running the app , and my hr was changing on the watch.
Any thoughts? Thank you!

This. I too am only using the bv6000 as my bike monitor / navigation tool.
Besides what Maastricht pointed out about comparability with blevo, the bv6000 has a bigger, longer lasting battery, brighter screen, is way more rugged and has superior GPS connection. (Russian pangloss satellite system also) the downside is that android is garbage compared to iOS so, there's some frustration there, but it's a fully functioning little computer on your bars (as opposed to a garmin)

If you want BLEvo to start when you turn the device on and never see an android launcher, get a free startup manager from the play store and set blevo to auto-start.

Hi Stumpy, when I rode with my iphone I used the gps of my iphone. Levo's with on board gps do not exist yet according to my opinion. Current TCU doesn't contain a GPS but I believe there will be released a TCU with on board GPS function in future time. I am not sure what the intention of Specialized will be. Anti-theft, speed limit restriction (based on global bike location), navigation, analytics function, etc.?

Well, depends on what you mean. Yes it will do all the logging of data and comprehensive displays. However I suspect most people come to it because it can be used to change the wheel circumference on 2018 bikes and so circumvent the speed restriction. This will not work for 2019 bikes.
I’m having the same issue. It constantly reads 77 bpm. I’m not sure why it doesn’t work anymore. It was working well a few months ago.

Another question for @PaoloBLEvo or others with BLEvo - can it work with the Garmin Forerunner 935 watch, which does heart rate and can transmit it - I think it uses ANT+?

Not 100% correct according to my information. It will work with a 2019 Levo which contains the original firmware version 2.019. However firmware 2.025 and 2.026 (which I currently have) are not able to be changed by BLEvo as the wheel circumference setting is changed to read only by Specialized due to liability reasons.
Although BLEvo is known for its historical speed limit adjustment I am still an enthousiastic user as there are many more features and benefits compared to MC of which Rob showed the advantages in his latest video. For only €9,99 I am really happy with it especially compared to Mission Control.

Do you know if it's possible to refer to earlier versions of the firmware?

According to my knowledge only 2.019 was the earliest version which has been shipped to dealers. In 2.019 walk assist and shuttle mode were not working 100% optimal yet.
Is it possible to install other OSM maps on Blevo? I've been using maps from here on the Garmin device Talkytoaster
No sorry.. Only Bluetooth belt and no smart watches...
The OSM maps are already present in BLEvo for Android.
In the next release, BLEvo for Android will support also the Andromap based on OSM.
(But the Apple Watch paired with iOS device does work as a HR monitor) - thanks Paolo!
i use one of these
it will mount on the bars or in place of the top cap and you can get purpose fit cases for some phones and a universal rubber mount for any phone, I use this with a splashproof motorola G5
works really well and you can have the phone in landscape or portrait position just by twisting it on the mount.
you can get an adapter to mount garmin as well

Paolo,
I noticed yesterday that the Apple Watch no longer works at all with BLEvo. It shows that it’s connected, but it doesn’t record the hr. It actually shows that’s it’s connected and my watch is not with me. Could this be a glitch with one of the newer versions of BLEvo?

Thanks, are those the vector based maps that scale clearly with distortion?
I didn't change nothing.. I will check.. maybe some ios update has broken something..
The vector map doesn't have the distortion effect..
