Guest agteros Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Updated to Firefox 4 this afternoon - at the install, message popped up telling me that my Garmin Communicator plugin/add-on(?) was incompatible with the next Firefox version, and was being disabled... Which might, or might not, mean anything... Will pop something up when I try and upload my rides - and see if it works... I'm running Firefox 4 on Windows Vista and I can upload activities.
scotty Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 With Nokia phones it depends on the model, my 6710 only lasts a few hours.
RodTi Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Ja - guess I must pull my head out of the proverbial... Can old data be transferred across? Wait. Google is my friend... Pffttt... Nokia phones only huh?

Chee Kong Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Sport track good but not web-based... still prefer GC as can use on any laptops..For the maps, download Gfix for Chrome or another extension for Firefox, then will be able to see the map in google map.
Tankman Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Pffttt... Nokia phones only huh? Sportstracker is for Nokia phones SportTracks is for Garmin,Polar,Phones,gpx,txc, gps, the list goes on and on http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/

Why do you need a web based program? Other than wasting bandwith and knowing you have a online backup somewhere. The only thing I like about Garmin Connect is the Player, where it kind of lets you re-live the workout. Even with plugins and Gfix that is the one area where Bing is still displayed and that sucks cause that is the only thing I like! As I said " Garmin's software lacks creativity, functionality and logic" Can GC display all this info on one page - Nope Can you track your equipment on GC - NopeCan you customize your reports - Not in as much detail as in ST - NopePlugins for GC - Nope
Trubie Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 started using Garmin connect this week, been fortunate, no probs thus far. Had a look at Sportstrack, at R 35$, suppose its not too much if it works this well? R 250 or something? Reading all of this it seems it will be money well spent?what does it offer in addition to all that GC offers?
Tankman Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Tankman, is that ST 3 ? Yes, that is ST3, the free trial version
Thug Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 What are the better plugins to use ? I see that your "trial" version allows you multiple pieces of equipment as opposed to the normal 2. Must be a special version.

Must be a special version. It is a special version! I have been using version 2.1 for a long time and have not changed over to Trial 3 exactly because of the limitations on equipment... but then a light came on and I found a way around it I have 13 separate pieces of equipment I am tracking, 2 just didnt cut it! I think you are limited to 2 plugins on the trial version also.. working on that!Elevation correction is one I use, a lot of the plugins that worked with version 2.1 were free but you have to buy them now. Although there are a lot of free plugins but they are a bit useless if you are on the trial version cause you can only install 2. Edited March 30, 2011 by Tankman

I paid for it though, so now I do not have to juggle that anymore
Thug Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I used to use ST 2 a loooooong time ago and then discovered MyTourBook which is a open source sports tracking software for Linux. But recently I purchased a netbook that has Win7 Home Premium on and I ain't too happy with GTC or GC, so it looks like its back to ST for me.
