I use third party software called Ascent.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Another Ascent user. Much better than the Garmin software.

Have you tried MB's new Garmin Connect website? It's free and has a number of nice new features that aren't available on MB including access to ALL of your workouts, not just last 10. Originally Posted by cunninghamair

Here's a sample activity on Garmin Connect so you can see the free features now available.

Ascent is something like $39 US. I haven't tried to compare them in a long time. One thing I really like on Ascent is I can get my speed, pace, or HR overlayed onto my route and see what I was doing at any particular moment. Originally Posted by kelownagirl

Well, got the Garmin 305 Edge and did my first ride with it today. Now, I'm going to tackle uploading and looking at the data. I think I will use MotionBased with the Garmin Communicator for MAC.

Yes, I need to try it. I swear I set up a log in once. Does it transfer your history over? Originally Posted by kelownagirl
