Forums >Technical Support>dnephin's garmin 305 issue
(I've tried to look through threads for similar problems and solutions before posting.)
Went to log last night (and this morning) and the Upload GPS file and/or Garmin does this:
* Scans tracks quickly, but not to 100 percent. ie, beeps variously at 2% or 68% or something (I tried it a lot.)
then
* Starts receiving tracks, but only to 90something%, at which point it says "Status: There are no new data"
Now, there is indeed a run in the Garmin.
As attempted remedies, I have:
* Checked if I have the latest updates. I do
* Soft reset.
* Deleted all history older than one month.
* Tried multiple times, say, 10.
* Tried last night and today.
* Tried different USP ports (my idea of banging an old television on the side.)
Any ideas? I've not tried a reinstall of Garmin software yet because I didn't want to lose the run info, but if that's the solution, I'll surely do it.

Lazy idiot
You say you tried different USB ports, but did you try (if you have them) different cords? The cord that shipped with my Garmin went on the fritz after about 9 months. I swapped it out for another I had, and it worked.
also, if you've saved the run in your GTC (or kept it on the unit), there should be no issue with a reinstall of the Garmin software. In my experience, this doesn't affect the saved data, just replaces the application itself.
Good luck.

The same thing happens with mine. I does not happen very often and generally after my weekend long run. So far, most of the time a soft reset will fix the problem. However occasionally. I will have to follow a soft reset with deletion of history older than one month, followed by another soft reset. Once, I had to restart my computer after the "soft reset, deletion, soft reset" sequence to get it too work.
Not sure this helps any. If you figure out another fix be sure to post.

Some sort of IE. The latest, I guess.
It appears to be working now, or at least, I got last night's run off.
I also tried another cable (didn't do anything) but unchecking:
Import new workouts only
and
Mark routes to be uploaded as publicly veiwable, which I had previously always checked, seems to have done it.
And I think I did turn off/on the computer. Will update w/ tomorrow's run. Just could be one of those things. Thanks.
MODIFY:
That's bizarre: Put a bunch of default runs in. Huh. Will have to kill them. Thought the monthly mileage on the summary was too good to be true.
an amazing likeness
Dan -- I've seen cases where the data for the run itself is hosed in some manner and the XML the Garmin sends drives the receiving software nuts. Over the years, I've had one or two runs where one logging software was ok, and another would hang on trying to load the run.
If you've gotten the run off your Forerunner, you may want to delete all the data off the Forerunner so that it doesn't try to parse it again and again.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.
No problems today.
(I'm sure you were all waiting with bated breath.)
I don't think changing any of the options on the page causes or fixes the problem since they're just info used by the server when it receives your data. If anything, the reboot might have been the fix.
For this computer illiterate, anything not understood could have been the fix
