    I hate the new Garmin Connect, too. For the time being, you can still use the Classic interface for everything except Workouts, but I don't know how much longer they'll support it.

    IAE, for my training log I've been using SportTracks since forever, like since it was true shareware. Their desktop app (Windows only - it's the only thing I use in Windows) can be used independently of their cloud service. Really like it, highly customizable, can view all the data from a Garmin watch including some that Garmin's own site won't show me, lots of plug-ins available.

    RideWithGPS for mapping new routes, also.

    Yep. They keep threatening to kick me off. When the old site absolutely stops working, I guess I'll move (probably somewhere other than Garmin). Until then....

    The only reason I started using Garmin Connect at all is because when I was working with a coach two years ago, that's the site he uses. Then when I got a watch with wireless upload, it's not only really convenient to hit that button at the end of a workout; it's also reassuring when I travel to a race without my laptop, to be able to upload it via my phone right away, rather than worrying whether I might physically lose the watch or have a software issue lose the record of the race, before I get home.

    I downloaded the Ride With GPS app to my phone - but the Garmin is what I've got a handlebar mount for until I figure oiut something for the phone (and we'll see what it does battery-wise but there may be some creativity happening there, too).

    You can upload and download to/from RwGPS to a Garmin device.

    Used to be you had to crunch a route through BikeRouteToaster to get it into the multi-sport watches for navigation purposes, but it's been so long I don't even know if that's the case any more.
