forerunner 305 uploads every workout each time

Have the same problem, but ONLY with bricks/multisport setting. I have no idea how to change/fix it. Though about contacting Garmin, but haven't yet. I'm looking forward to a response that will help!

Check to see if you have the latest software update for both the computer AND the garmin...

I don't get that problem...

Have you looked for a setting somewhere to stop it?

I searched thru the software on my PC for help, but not much there.  I need to read the manual tonight or sometime soon before it shows up as a 500 mile brick.

I read thru the manual and went thru every screen last night with no luck.  If anyone can help, we (since I'm not the only one with this issue) would greatly appreciate it!

had the same issue until someone decided to steal it out of my gym bag, strangely I haven't had that problem anymore

I have found the software/firmware that Garmin supplies in the 305 and for your PC (Training Center) to be a bit buggy.  One thing that helps is to occasionally clear the memory in the device.  Go into the History page and you will find an option to delete previous records by day, week, or month.  I do this about once or twice a week provided I have already uploaded the data from previous rides and runs and it shortens the upload time too.   This will eliminate the repetitive uploads of previous data.

One other annoying thing that I don't like is that after I place the 305 into the cradle, it opens Training Center and then waits several minutes to begin uploading data.  I also don't like the way that activities get placed into the Multisports folder and you can't get them out.  If you aren't paying attention, the 305 will automatically switch to Multisport mode without you knowing it and those workouts in that folder are stuck there forever.  I also wish you could compare laps, not just entire rides.   And why can't you highlight a particular part of a ride and have Training Center give you the stats for just that part of the ride?  Garmin has a long way to go as far as software is concerned.

JMHO,

I just got off the phone with Garmin and it's finally working.  After searching for software updates and completly resetting the 305 with no luck, we reinstalled the Training Center software and it's not loading multiple times.

So for those having this issue, start with reinstalling the software.  Don't start with rebooting the 305 or you'll lose all your history and settings like I did.
