Do you have a GPS? (Read 6904 times)

1. Garmin FR305 2. Yes 3. Win XP SP2 (but I'd love to move back to Ubuntu linux -- FR305 is keeping me on windows) 4. Plot my route on a map and show distance, time, pace, and average heart rate over a run and for each splits (maybe elevation gain/loss as well). Ideally, I'd like to be able to import my existing SportTracks data including notes. (It's an XML file, so I might be able to figure it out if runningahead has an api for publishing data to it). gregw (a coolrunning refugee)

1. Garmin FR305 2. Yes 3.Mac OS X 10.5.1 (also can use Windows XP under VMware 4. Ditto on the sporttracks capability. Might be able to code it up as a plug-in to sporttracks as a way to reduce development.

Hey Eric thanks for taking the time to look into it: 1. Garmin Forerunner 305 2.Yes, I'd love to, now I am currently using Sport Tracks. 3. XP SP2 - Firefox 2.0.0.11 4. Everything that is possible to do on SportTracks.

1. Which GPS do you use? Please include brand and model. Garmin Forerunner 205 2. Do you intend on importing your GPS data to RunningAHEAD.com? YES 3. What computer are you using? Please specify operating system and its version. XP Pro SP2 4. What do you want the importing feature to do? Please be as descriptive as possible. Bring in map of course with distance, of course, and let me analyze splits (show recorded splits, 1/4 splits, etc.)-as another person stated-have it do the same thing as SportTracks.

1. Garmin 305 2. I would love to if it is an option 3. Windows Vista Home Premium 4. What I would love is the minimum number of manual entries. If I could import and only have to indicate which shoes I was wearing and fill in comments, that would be great. If the GPS could fill in as much of the data in the log as possible, that would make me very happy!!!

Hi guys, As I start work on importing GPS, I need to take a survey of what you're using: 1. Which GPS do you use? Please include brand and model.

I'm using a Garmin Forerunner 101 I got for Christmas last year.

2. Do you intend on importing your GPS data to RunningAHEAD.com?

My 101 is low-end and has no interface. I might be a new GPS when you add the import feature here. My thoughts on make-and-model on this sort of this is often to buy "mainstream" so vendors and sites and that will support.

3. What computer are you using? Please specify operating system and its version.

XP.

4. What do you want the importing feature to do? Please be as descriptive as possible.

New, distance, pace, and elevation change. Also would like to be able to chart out a course online and then download it to the GPS to help out finding the way for running new trail courses where there might be a few key turns.

That's all I can think of for now. Thanks for your help! eric

No, thank *you*.

1. GPS: Garmin Forerunner 205 2. Yes I DO intend to import my data into RunningAhead if it is not difficult. 3. Computer OS is Windows 2000 with the latest service pack. PC is built myself from an Asus P4T 4. **I want the importer to, of course, import distance, time, time of day, and mile splits -- if I have it set to record them. **One important feature -- Sometimes I use my Garmin on an indoor track. In these cases I turn off the GPS and just record the splits. It would be nice if the importer could recognize such situations. Garmin's software does but other software (like SportTracks) does not read such runs at all. ** It would be nice if the importer could figure out which of my pre-entered courses the GPS track corresponds to. I can see how difficult that would be since multiple runs over the same course are going to come out to different distances on different days. It would have to be a very smart algorithm that would be able to do that. However I must say, one nice feature of CoolRunning's log was that if I were entering a run, I could just enter a title for the course without actually CREATING a course entry in my list of courses. It seems that RunningAhead requires a course entry for any run. I wish that requirement could be removed. ** It would also be nice if the importer would allow me to make a new course entry from a run. **One VERY cool feature (though certainly not necessary) would be if the importer could do some sort of automated weather lookup based on the coordinates of the run. SportTracks actually does this, though I have no idea how. I imagine it is very difficult. **Another feature -- I can set the Garmin to a Multisport mode. For example in triathlons, I wear it for both the bike and the run. Garmin's software recognizes this and enters the sports as different sports. Be nice if the importer could allow for this. **I don't have a 305 but if I did I imagine I would want it to import the HR data too.

I would like to import as much data as possible. I mostly got the Garmin for the accurate distance/mapping, splits/interval training.
