Advanced Capabilities Now Include GPS Mapping via Google Earth and Compatibility with Polar's Range of Running, Cycling and GPS Sensors

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Polar (http://www.polarusa.com), the leader in heart rate monitoring and fitness assessment technology, today introduced the RS800CX, the most advanced and versatile training management system for competitive endurance athletes and the growing multisport market.

The RS800CX offers athletes an elevated level of training insight by recording GPS mapping information, and then displaying the route through Polar ProTrainer 5(TM) software on Google Earth or any common GPS mapping software. In addition, the RS800CX offers compatibility with Polar's range of W.I.N.D. running, cycling and GPS sensors, enabling endurance athletes to track speed, distance and a wide range of performance details across any terrain or sport. This versatility makes the RS800CX a completely customizable training computer, as athletes can select the Polar sensor that best meets their training needs.

The robust, all-in-one RS800CX training computer also makes it easier to track multisport training, during and after the workout. For sports such as triathlon, where an athlete shifts from biking to running, the RS800CX allows the user to change the speed setting in real-time from miles per hour (mph) to minutes per mile (pace), providing the athlete with the right data for the right sport. Multi-sport workouts can also be combined into one file, providing a holistic view of training. This means that performance and heart rate data for sports ranging from kayaking, skiing, hiking and in-line skating can now be planned, monitored and analyzed with the same training computer an athlete would use for running or cycling.

"Polar is well known for providing athletes with state-of-the-art training computers that help them to set goals and train at
