Wez-O Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Chalk and cheese! Strava is leagues above Garmin in the software market.
carbon29er Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Wanted to see... Also cos it has HR data, but then after buying it, seeing that the HR data recording capability only extends to iPhone apps. No Android ANT+ support (my HR strap is ANT+ and my phone supports it) I've got the Fenix now to get around that... Try IPBike if you want ANT+ support on Android for Strava uploads.
carbon29er Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Maybe a good time to mention Edgescope https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.fulvio.edgescope again. An Android app that, with a USB OTG cable, lets you upload your workouts straight from your Garmin device (older ones) to GC and Strava. And analyse your ride on your phone. No PC needed. I've been using it for a couple of years, haven't used Garmin Connect since and don't need the poor app on my phone. I'd definitely recommend it if you have a Garmin and Android.

shaper Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I've got the Fenix now to get around that... I use sports tablet/garmin uploader on my S6 for my 910XT which has Ant+ I also use it with an OTG cable for my Edge 500 Many options to upload the workout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.carlopescio.uploader&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dgarmin+uploader&pcampaignid=APPU_1_okBGVo69O4L5UqfnkrgM Write up by DC Rainmaker http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/06/garmin-ipad-android-surface.html My S6 is Ant+ so do not need the OTG cable and Ant+ usb, the inbuilt Ant+ in the phone communicates direct with my 910XT
intern Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Yes I have become a Stravasshole. Got my first KOM this morning and now I am skeeming away at how I can smash a few more. Muwahahaha...

Stretch Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 dont think I have ever even looked at GC. All my mates are on strava - makes much more sense - and useful for the groups where you can compare training progress with those in the group....and KOM's....and CR's...just make it that more challenging
EmptyB Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Yes I have become a Stravasshole. Got my first KOM this morning and now I am skeeming away at how I can smash a few more. Muwahahaha... Create a segment for your driveway....
Stretch Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Create a segment for your driveway.... you laugh...I live on a hill..so I created a running one from the bottom of the hill to my house...a 5% climb over 1.5km...some bastard claimed it....and because it is always at the end of my run I am always tired......3 years later and yesterday I finally claimed it from him!
