(duplicate post from Gear and Accessories - to make sure seen by other Edge/Forerunner users)

I just learned last night of MotionBased forcing all Garmin users to use GarminConnect instead of MB by July 31.

I gave it a chance, mind you. I went over to GC hoping since MB was forcing the change that GC had made changes to be similar or "as good". Much to my chagrin... NO.. it hasn't gotten better. You can't see "moving time" avg speed in the summary info.. You can't see max or average gradient info from your hill climbing... and there's no weather info from your ride either.

Sure, they say these things will be added later, but when? I paid a good deal of money for this fun little toy. Why buy a Garmin product if there is no reporting functionality at the tail end to fully analyze your ride? I don't "get" this move.

I'm p*ssed!

Are there other MB-like programs out there that can analyze data similarly or will we be forced to plug-along with GC? <pouting>
