I currently have a Polar Protrainer XP. It works well, except you are near high voltage lines, where
the electrical/electromagnetic interference is strong, in which case the HRM stops working. That is,
it stops showing your heart rate, and therfore all of its recording functions are useless. Polar
does explain that the HRM will NOT work properly when in areas with a great deal of
electrical/electromagnetic interference, and they are right.
The bike Trail in Northern Virginia (from Ashburn East) is also the right-of-way for the electrical
power company, and the trail is just a few feet from, and runs parallel to high voltage lines. As
soon as you get to the area with the high voltage lines, the HRM stops working.
I'm sure others may have had this problem. I would like to know which product (Make and Model)
people believe can best handle electrical/electromagnetic interference.
Thanks.
