Garmin owns the Ant protocol, hence its adoption in Garmin products. It seems the preferred connection is now wifi direct to the Internet or blue tooth via a mobile phone, very few if any phones have ant+ connectivity. Ant+ still seems to be popular for additional sensors for transmitting data to Garmins (and other fitness trackers), such as bike cadence and speed sensors due to lower power consumption compared to Blue Tooth. BTLE (Blue Tooth Low Energy) may start to challenge that.Originally Posted by shaunaneto
Garmin Express has always been a complete PITA. For some reason as soon as Garmin gets a product working it scraps it and starts again, resulting in another shoddy product for a year or so until they iron out the bugs.
