Garmin Integration - Phase 1

Thanks marmadaddy. I noticed this feature, but it doesn't work with my Forerunner 301. It records data as fitness data not as routes.

 Edit

Oops! Didn't see that last line.... 

Very awesome!! Easier than Motionbased even.

Thanks guys! 

This will be awesome! I haven't had a chance yet to test it out as I am trying to get my Garmin to work on my Linux laptop with Wine. I know it isn't designed to work with it but I was/am hoping....

I'll be taking a look at this in the next day or so. I'm still getting settled in the new office.  

Okay, I did all the steps (301 on a PC) and It gets my data, then after it gets to 100, it says no tracks found .

I am sad. What am I missing?

This indicates that there's no data on the unit. What does it show under 'History'?  

There's about a year and a half of data on the unit. Motionbased and Garmin's own software picks it up. I'm not actually home to check the history, but I know from previous checking that I can look back to all the recorded events.

Could it be that as soon as I plug it in that the Garmin software sucks out the most recent event (that's an IT term - sucks out) and then there is nothing for the BT integration stuff to find?

Sorry, I missed this.

Try it  here and let me know if it displays any tracks.

Hey Mike,

Any chance this will at some point work with my Garmin 50 (Data transfer without maps)?

I'm currently working on uploading workout data, so that should work with the Forerunner 50.

The Garmin 50 uses the Ant Agent -- same as the Forerunner 405.  You'll probably have to completely re-write the data import to support it. 

Fun stuff!

Interesting. I biked today and wanted to import the route. I've done this in the past so I headed on into the route manager to do it. It tells me "The plugin was not unlocked success" which I assume means that somehow the plugin was not successfully located.

So I reinstalled the plugin and restarted my browser. I got the same results. I clicked the Garmin Display Page for Developers (link in one of your posts above) and it sees my Garmin and is able to open my routes. Go back to BT, nope.

Ideas? 

I've had that happen a couple of times this week while working on the workout uploads (which should be ready for testing soon, like tomorrow). Try clearing your browser cache. It's cleared it up for me each time.

Hi Mike Great feature

I have however notice a small problem (maybe just me) when I upload a route the elevations gained is wrong ! When I put data into the Garmin training Center and Motionbased, they give me roughly the same numbers, but in Routetracker planner it is way off. I have my unit set to metric, but it looks like when the data is uploaded to the Routetracker, that it thinks the meters are actually feet, thereby making my elevations gain look pretty small. Just an insignificant problem compared to the coolness of being able to upload routes straight from the Garmin
