Connect the Garmin USB ANT + dongle to your computer and immediately analyze your training results. The USB stick automatically detects and receives the data from the Forerunner when it is within range. You then process the information online via the Garmin Connect site, or via software with Garmin Training Center.

I use the Garmin Ant USB-m Stick for two online training programs. The range is occasionally very sensitive. I assumed that if I place the laptop 1.3 m from the trainer and my heart rate monitor, there is enough distance to pick up the signal. However, it regularly happens that the signal goes out and it is even difficult to reconnect. It is a big disadvantage that there is nowhere an indication for an optimal range. An app on your macbook or pc to test your signal would be very useful. It is very frustrating when your data is interrupted while you are running an online race. Because there is no other choice than this stick, I have to recommend it if it gives you the chance to ride on Zwift Island or train intensively with TrainerRoad.

Is it raining dogs and cats? Or pipe stealing? Is the summer over? Are you a fair-weather cyclist and your motivation to climb on your Tacx drops just as fast as the temperature outside? This Garmin Ant USB stick will get you through the winter!
Because what could be better than being able to participate in interactive courses on a laptop from the Tacx, or to train very specifically? With this USB stick you can connect your Garmin sensors to your laptop or PC in no time, after which you can monitor your progress on the screen.
As we are used to from Garmin, connecting the hardware is a piece of cake. Connect seamlessly. As we've come to expect from Garmin, the hardware/software combination is awesome. In Garmin Express you should be able to use your sensors first after installing the USB stick. But so far I have not succeeded.
Fortunately, parties such as Strava and TrainerRoad (to be linked with Strava) have dived into this hole. Both are highly recommended, the first for interactive racing and the second for targeted training. I am writing this review with severely soured legs after a heavy baseline measurement this morning on TrainerRoad.
In short: recommended! One downside: the price is a bit on the high side. I think it is best to offer such a stick for a lower price.
Oh yes, the USB stick can also be used in the summer. :)

You plug it into your PC and 2 minutes later it receives your HR strap, cadence and speedometer.
