Ride With GPS / HRM
I use the free version of Ride with GPS on my iPhone to track mileage and avg speed of rides. I “need” to add a heart rate monitor.
- Can I do this either the free version?
- With the paid version?
- Any suggestions for a simple, inexpensive HRM so I can record my heart rate throughout rides?

Are you talking about using their phone app to track your HR?
Do you have the strap? Is the strap Bluetooth? If the strap isn't Bluetooth, then your phone needs to support ant+ or what ever the strap is.
And if you have them then why don't you just try it and see? You'll probably have to get in the settings of the RWGPS phone app and look for the <Bluetooth and sensors> section and just add the HR strap per the instructions on screen.
If you don't have the strap, then just simply write to RWGPS support if none here have a definitive answer. They usually answer me very quickly.
And all of this assumes you aren't also using a Garmin, Wahoo, Lezyne or some other GPS device. They all will take HR sensor data and that can be sent to Garmin Connect, RWGPS, Strava and many other places before you get in the door of your house from a ride.

Should we evaluate the OP's thread title?
