Are you using MB?

What is MB?

Incidentally, in unpacking, I've not found my cable or HR monitor

What is MB?

I believe MB is referring to Motion Based, a web application for translating and analyzing GPS data as well as providing online mapping. We use it and love it! (Although it is pretty interesting to see the difference in some of the stats when comparing Motion Based to Garmin's Training Center.) Technology -- you gotta love it!!

HG is correct. If you think the info in Training center is cool, register and upload to Motion Based.

As to the diff in the #s, MB uses some kind of corrective algorithms to make the #s jive between satellite and mapping. I think it accounts for some the up and down that the satellite doesn't get. Usually your mileage will be a tad higher on MB.

I tried MB and was unimpressed...what did I miss?

It just gives lots more information. Cadence, breaks down heart rate better and in an easier to understand format, grades on elevation, and I like the nifty graphs. Also calories used (so I can have a milkshake), and weather for the ride.

[Mr. Bloom]

Maybe I should just subscribe and give it a try.

Where is the best place to purchase better maps?

You can do the free membership. I'm not planning on doing the pay til next year, if then.

Never bought a map, I just use routeslip or bikely.
