Anyone use Sports Tracks for the Garmin?

I use SportTracks since I own my 305 and it works like a charm. Never heard of anyone having any issues with it and a Garmin.

Did you make sure you had the latest version?

I use both my forerunner and edge with sports tracks.  My first thought is that you need to (re)install the garmin communicator software.  Get it from the garmin website.

It's possible that uninstalling TC removed Garmin Communicator as well.

Ditto to what everyone said about the Garmin drives.  I use SportsTracks almost exclusively.  There's an active forum on their website for troubleshooting, and you may get more technical advise there.

Good luck!

I use Sporttracks as well - it is fantastic software and blows Garmin Training Centre out of the water.  Check out all the plugins available for it as well, they really enhance the functionality of the program.  I've even written one to generate power statistics based on published bike trainer power curves (not  available yet on their web site, but I'll get there).

As others have suggested you do need the driver that comes with Garmin Training Centre software to communicate between the Garmin and Sporttracks.

well i've honestly about had it with this Garmin and it not connecting to my system.   i've downloaded and tried everything that i know and nothing works.

and this is not the first time i've had trouble with my computer recognizing the device.   i'm constantly having to either reboot, change usb ports, or some other crap just to get my workouts uploaded. 

i'm just about resolved to the face i just won't be able to upload my stats and i'll just have to write them down i guess.   i'm pissed and tired of trying everything i know.

thanks for all the advice and tips.....but nothing works

Here are few things that I had to do.  Maybe they will help you.

- Download updated usb drivers from your computer manufacturers website.  I had a ton of problems with my usb ports (wouldn't recognize, wouldn't charge, etc) until I got those updated drivers

- Download the Garmin driver from this very website.  When I first used SportTracks, it told me it wouldn't recognize the Garmin.  BT has a driver so I downloaded it and it worked.

Hope you get some resolution.  I adore my Garmin and am considering the footpod and cadence because it would make logging stuff that much easier.

ya i tried the USB drivers but when it says to connect the Garmin, it won't recognize it.   guess i'll try to dl the drivers from here.   can someone point me to the drivers on this site?

now it won't even charge or anything from the USB cradle.   i'm wondering if it might be an issue with the cradle.   anyone know if that might be a issue or how good Garmin's customer service is?

i'm pretty ticked that i'm ready to go for a run but it didn't charge from the last few uses and it's nearly dead and won't recharge.

just got off the phone with CS and they are sending me a new cradle.....they think that might be the issue.

will see when it gets here next week.   i hope so...i hate not having my Garmin when running
