Subject: RE: Garmin Connect/Training Peaks/Iphone Alex,
Before I got my Galaxy S7, I had to buy a dongle thingy to attach to my S3 to give it ANT+ capability - similar to what you're doing on your iPhone. Now my S7 has ANT+ built in, so that's not an issue. What I did end up getting was an app called Uploader for Garmin (not sure if he has an IOS version or not ).
This Uploader app turns on the ant+ and grabs the data from my 910XT. I can then export it to whatever I want... Garmin Connect, Strava etc. and it shows up immediately in the Garmin Connect app (BT too since I have those two sync'd ).
Seems to work pretty well. My 220 has bluetooth so no messing around with ANT +.
Like Tom mentioned, 920xt would be the way to go since they're so cheap now, but I didn't have that option when I purchased my 910XT several years ago.
Definitely not as seemless as bluetooth on my 220 or wireless on my wife's 620, but it does work. IIRC the Garmin Uploader app was not free, but I think it was only 5 bucks.
