Joker Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I currently use trainingpeaks wko+ software. Can I do the same with the sportstracs software? I use my Garmin and the power-tap and then upload the stuff. Training peaks V3 expensive at $129. Currently use version 2.

Currently use version 2.The Sporttracks power analysis side is not so great (and you have to pay for the add-on). I'm still using WKO+ 2 for this reason. You could also have a look at Golden Cheetah.
niklasvm Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 How does the sport tracks 3 trial version compare to the old version 2? is it necessary to buy the whole package or are the trial features sufficient?
Guest agteros Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 How does the sport tracks 3 trial version compare to the old version 2? is it necessary to buy the whole package or are the trial features sufficient? For most people the biggest drawback will be the fact that you can have only two plugins enabled at a time in the trial version. You can also not save reports in the trial version. Other than that it is not crippled.
Tankman Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 How does the sport tracks 3 trial version compare to the old version 2? is it necessary to buy the whole package or are the trial features sufficient? I tried the Trial version for a while, all the plugins that you had on version 2 is not available unless you buy them!Things like the equipment plugin only allows for 2 pieces of equipment, so that did not work for me! If version 2 is working for you, stick with it. The only real difference I could notice was that version 3 can upload .FIT files automatically whereas with version 2 you have to convert the .FIT files to gpx or tcx manually before you can import them. (egde 500)

Gman1834 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 so when you download from the edge do you use Garmin training centre and then convert to tcx/gpx and then import into ST? thats the only way i've found for it to work. quite a mission Not that the hub is not the ultimate knowledge base. But you can post on the ST user forum or do a search on the FAQ . I think I saw some info on the 500. I use the Edge305 and import it directly to ST3. No need to buy the full version (well I love the program so much I did) and there are lots of nice programs out there. You can even write your own plugins. (Im trying to learn C# so that I can improve the Polar import)

Marginally quicker in that it opens quickly and it does the translation directly.

Or download a converter and use that, pretty much the same. But if you have version 3 trial or full you can import directly from the garmin device. Your choice, either convert or spend the money and buy version 3 (the trial version just does not offer enough)

(Im trying to learn C# so that I can improve the Polar import) Everything you need to know is right here! You can use the Edge 305 to import directly to any version of SportTracks simply because the 305 and 705 uses .gpx files.The Edge 500 and 800 uses a new .FIT file system and is only compatible with the latest version 3. If you are using a 500 or 800 then you will only be able to import directly into ST using version 3 (or anything newer after 3) I have many many plugins that I use with version 2 which are not available in trial version 3 and has to be bought. If you ask me, it is pretty pointless using the Trial version, either stick to version 2 or buy the full version 3. Edited February 24, 2011 by Tankman
Slowbee Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 to bring up something from the past as I am doing some homework, its the garmin sports centre a better package than the sportstrack ? no need to worry about a power meter, as I am looking at a garmin 705 to be able to map routes, altitude and HR zones ...

If that's all you're intending to do, you can just use the free demo version of ST3.
Slowbee Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Edman, do I need to worry about plug ins for analysis of any training ?
flex Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Still can't believe they haven't made a SportTracks for Mac. I used to use it when I was on PC and it was great. I can run Windows applications on my MacBook using Crossover, but its a mission. I'll stick to GTC for Mac for now, it does the trick.
