About Joule

USER Multiple users can be stored
on each Joule GPS+. (e.g. Jim, Bob,
Rachel can all share same device with
unique information). To add another user,
select Add a User, enter the name,
weight, height and date of birth for the
new user. If the training data is known
for this particular user it can be entered
now or enter it later, after a few rides.
CHAPTER 2: Joule GPS+ OVERVIEW & SETUP
USER
Because the Joule GPS+ is multi-user compatible, it's easy to share the device among several riders (e.g.
Rachel, Jim, Bob). Each user can have multiple bikes (e.g. TT bike, Road bike, MTB); each bike can have
multiple sensors associated with it (e.g. PowerTap, Cadence, HR strap, Speed). A default User is already
defined within the Joule GPS+. You can either edit the settings associated with that User or create a new
user by selecting Add a User.

CHAPTER 2: Joule GPS+ OVERVIEW & SETUP
SENSORS & PAIRING
Pairing is a term used to describe the association of your Joule GPS+ with a particular sensor that is broadcasting
an ANT+TM signal (e.g. a PowerTap hub, a Heart Rate strap, a remote cadence sensor, a remote speed sensor, etc.).
Sensors can be shared between bikes (e.g. a heart rate strap). Each User can define multiple bikes. Each bike may
have one or more sensors associated with it. Use unique names when creating additional bikes. For example: Jim’s
Racing Bike, Jim’s MTB, My TT Bike, etc.
To add another bike:
· Select “Add a Bike,” enter a unique name and the weight of the bike.
· Associate the sensors with the bike. Make sure all the sensors are awake and
broadcasting (briefly spin PowerTap wheel, wear HR strap).
· Select “Pair All” to pair all awake sensors in broadcast range (PowerTap hub, Heart
Rate strap). Sensors can also be paired individually by selecting it within the
Sensors menu.
Joule GPS+ User Guide page 10
TIP: The Joule GPS+ pairs to the sensor(s) closest to the
device first. Hold the Joule within 12” of PowerTap hub
when pairing in the presence of other sensors.

CHAPTER 2: Joule GPS+ OVERVIEW & SETUP
Bluetooth Pairing
To enjoy the full capabilities of the Joule GPS+ including wireless downloading and Over-the-Air firmware updates
you must download PowerTap Mobile App from App Store.
You must have Bluetooth turned “on” in
order to connect your phone to the Joule
GPS+. To turn Bluetooth “on” go to
Settings>Bluetooth and turn the slider to
the “on” position as above graphic.
Once Bluetooth is turned “on” use the
slider in the App to connect to the Joule
GPS+.
Once Joule GPS+ and
phone are connected it
will show “connected”
in the bike setup page
and Bluetooth logo will
be present on the
phone and the Joule
GPS+.
TIP: Instructions on downloading, troubleshooting and Bluetooth
definitions see BLANK page.
NOTE: Bluetooth will need to be active on the Joule
GPS+ as well. This setting is in Main Menu > Device
> Bluetooth Smart. Select active to turn Bluetooth
ON (default for the Joule GPS+). When the Bluetooth
service is on within the Joule the Bluetooth icon
appears next to the battery status level icon in the
upper right corner of the title bar. When the phone
and the Joule are connected this icon is bold.

Intervals are useful for viewing ride data specific to a section of a ride, such as a hill or other period of high intensity
riding. The Interval Summary dashboard contains a summary of each interval completed up to that point in the ride.
To initiate or stop an interval press the large [INTERVAL] button on the front of the Joule.
When viewing dashboard metrics, the Joule GPS+ allows 2 types of views: Ride View and Interval View. Ride View
displays metric values related to the entire ride from the start to the current point in time. Interval View displays metric
values related to the current interval. Holding the [INTERVAL] button down for 2 seconds toggles between the 2 views.

CHAPTER 3: DASHBOARDS
INTERVALS continued
When using intervals, the Joule GPS+ can operate in one of two modes: Lap Mode or Interval Mode. These modes refer
to the action taken when the [INTERVAL] button is pressed. The default is Lap Mode. The mode can be changed in the
Record Control section of the Device menu (see chapter 8).
• Lap Mode refers to the traditional way the interval button has operated on all computers from PowerTap: Pressing
the [INTERVAL] button completes one interval (or Lap) and begins the next interval (Lap). Interval 0 (zero), or Lap 0,
is the time recorded from the start of the ride to the first [INTERVAL] button press. The next button press completes
Lap 1 and begins Lap 2. The next button press completes Lap 2 and begins Lap 3, and so on...
• Interval Mode refers to tracking a rider’s intervals as opposed to laps. When the Joule GPS+ is set to record in
Interval Mode, the first press of the [INTERVAL] button begins interval 1. The next press of the button ends interval
one. The next press of the button begins interval 2. The next press of the button ends interval 2, and so on...The
period between intervals is referred to as the “rest” period in the Joule title bar but the rest/recovery period is not
listed on the Interval dashboard. Only intervals are listed on the Interval dashboard.

The Navigation dashboard displays the path ridden from the start of the ride to your current position.
Additionally, the screen displays two configurable metric windows, interval markers (), waypoints (), and a
pacing icon (), depending upon which navigation feature is being used. This Dashboard is also used when
navigating to a Waypoint or following a route.
• Zoom the map in/out by pressing the PLUS (+) and MINUS (-) buttons.
• Zoom levels range from 75 meters to 80 kilometers (250 ft to 50 miles).
• When following a route, information related to total route distance or distance to the next turn appears
above the metrics. The route name will appear briefly in this area.

TIP: The GPS signal locking process can take anywhere from less than a
minute to several minutes, depending on weather, environmental
conditions and/or when the last time the device was powered up.
See Appendix D for detailed information on GPS signals.

CHAPTER 4: SENSORS
SENSOR OVERVIEW
The Sensor section of the Main Menu is the gateway to all bicycle and sensor associations. In this area you can:
• Define and pair various sensors (e.g. power meter, heart rate strap, speed, cadence, PowerCal, PowerBeam, etc.).
• Create a “bike” description by associating a specific group of sensors.
• Or, if you have already created a bike or two, you can select which bike description you are about to ride or “use,”
or which bike description to “edit.”
• Here, you can also access utilities related to calibration, such as calibrating the torque of a particular power meter
or calibrating the Resistance Unit (RU) of a PowerBeam indoor trainer.
