Yeah, I don't use Garmin Connect (I use RunningAhead.com) and have all of my training routes set as private. The only ones I make public are races. I don't ever start my runs from my front door, either...just to be safe.Originally Posted by SadieKate

Yep. This is one of the reasons that any routes to your house should not be set to public in garminconnect. Anyone, and I do mean anyone, can download your activity as a course, upload it to their Forerunner, and follow the cookie trail to Chez Zoom-zoom.

I was out running last week (actually only went out for a walk but had a sudden urge to run) and realised that if I had some of that "Garmin Goodness" that I enjoy on my bike (Edge 705) for when I was running I might enjoy it more and work harder at it!
Yesterday, after an exhaustive (and exhausting) few days of research and general ditzing around, I came home with the brand new Forerunner 110. I was all convinced to buy the 405CX but when I tried it on, found it was way too wide for my wrist - stuck out a mile either side - and I'd have spent my whole life thumping it on things.
So alas, I had to spend less money and get less features. But I figure it is still a mile ahead of my old Polar inherited from DH!
I'm looking forward to it completing me!

Oh, am I envious! I want a new DSLR...my old Canon 20D is so dated. The latest version has really nice video, as well as still capabilities. Originally Posted by pinkbikes

Let's see. I have an iTouch, iPad, Android phone, Kindle, Macbook, iMac. Should I go on? Life without my gadgets is meaningless!
edited to add: and I should have said a Garmin on the way!"Chisel praise in stone; write criticism in sand."

Ok, silly q...if i want a GPS that i can download tracks and know where i'm headed(instead of relying on memory) is Garmin the only one that makes a reliable one?
Here's what I want on my GPS-only really use it for mtn biking- HR, Distance, time and maps...

The only one I know of CC. But then I have one and have been so happy with it I haven't exactly been looking around to see what everything else has!
The only caution with having maps of the tracks is that somebody has to have mapped them and made them available in a suitable format for your Garmin. Some dude called Harry has done all the ones in South East Queensland, so I'm good. But I have no idea who has been mapping WA for you.

If you can zoom in close enough on the satellite image to see your trail, you can map it yourself. Just uncheck "follow roads." It won't work if there's heavy tree cover or if there aren't high-resolution images, but from what I can see of the vicinity of Perth, you ought to be able to make it work.

Or, if it's a trail that you might do several times but not often enough to remember it, you can do it the first time with a paper map or whatever, then upload your track and create a course or a track that you can use for future rides.Last edited by OakLeaf; 10-29-2010 at 05:36 PM.
