Can anyone tell me how hilly my ride was today? I get a stupid elevation figure from my garmin at the moment. I did Box Hill twice and over Leith Hill.

Steady, If you click on the "save as course" tab it'll open in a new window showing all the lumps.
Is it just me having problems with this new Garmin Connect? It's literally just taken 29 minutes for my 210 to show up on my desktop (iMac) and i now have a message saying 46 minutes left to upload. I only feckin ran for 30!
ghost - clear your history, if you done that already when you connect to garmin goto the modern view and upload from there, it doesnt use the commincator plug in now, its been replaced with express
I have saved my bike rides and it then shows in the new window with the lumpy bits but does not calculate the amount of climbing, whereas it used to tell me on the dashboard part.
I need to log on and enter my weight, but after Ghost's problems I wonder what will happen, will I magically be shown as a super lightweight or a ton of bricks.
i think its best cougie - if someone requests to join the group they should at least indicate who they are if they arent joining with their forum name. i reckon garmin will do something like strava soon - they put in segments now
I'm not accepting anyone I don't know or who doesn't make themselves known, for all the privacy reasons previously stated and regardless if they sort out the bits and pieces, it's a pirate group and I'd prefer it to stay that way
Just to let you know guys i have joined the group. mostly post in the shorter tri section but hoping to gain some inspiration from more accomplished cyclists and runners.
Managed to bump my average speed up a little last night on my cycle even though it was a shorter route. Im sure with patience and dedication it will start to creep up.
Ghost are you using Safari or Firefox on your iMac ? Sometime Safari does odd things so I switch to Firefox and that seems to sort it. I've had swims logged as runs - they become very very slow runs when speed or pace shown
How do i get the new GC to upload my garmin 500?....on the old version i clicked the upload button in the corner but now have to switch back to the old version when ever i have a ride.
I downloaded that activity center thing, it shows the Garmin 500 on devices but can't find anywhere to get it going?
down the left hand side there should be some icons...one of which is two arrows...this is where you go, it should give you the option to see your data...you'll need garmin express installed...
Getting really pissed of with Garmin now....it no longer uploads to Strava if your using the new garmin Express rather then the Ant Agent......bunch of assholes

Methinks Garmin express is a step backwards. From what I can see I can't download workouts I write on the website to my watch - I've uninstalled Garmin Express and gone back to the old version until I have to move over.
Not only Express, the whole Garmin Connect website is a step backwards.... little things like the connections leaderboard being completely wrong all the time... when you add training, it doesn't seem to reflect in the leaderboard for ages... and the app for iPad/iPhone has yet another completely different set of numbers in it!
Garmin really need to appreciate that if they see software and their web as part if their offering moving forwards, then they really need to up their game, big time... at present they don't seem to have a clue!
lets be honest.... its all prep for an Ironman on my 100th birthday
Went on to Garmin Connect today for the first time in a couple of weeks, and it has switched from the dependable old classic version to the fancy-pants new version.
ANT agent disappeared from my mac (or went and hid somewhere I couldn't find it), so I've re-installed it and made sure pairing is enabled on my 405, but apparently my "device" can't be found.
What am I doing wrong? Please remember you'll be explaining this to someone who still thinks the radio has glass valves inside.

Cheers Razor!
More likely they think I'm an imposter cos I've done so little over the past couple of weeks

hope that helps
Thanks Doner, 'll give that a go.
Don't tell me that cougie, i've been obstinately refusing to use Strava just 'coz hubby tells me all the boys in work swear by it.
Today Garmin Connect has changed some of my bike rides to runs and flagged them up as PBs
How odd Ghost, that your rides became runs.

I have had a request from 'Jankone' to join, does anyone know who this person is ?
Meldy, I have no idea of who that is, not a name from the shorter tri thread that I am aware of.
Strava let's you block out the area round your house - I don't think Garmin does so we should restrict the group to people we know ?

I think that's a good call. I always waited to start my Garmin till I was away from the house but that's not so easy with brick sessions.

Yeah, so i've discovered and it deletes the Ant Agent+ off your computer so you can't go back to it

just go back to the ant agent/ communicator plug in and remove express
Help

Oh, and what exactly is Garmin Express for? I'm so confused
Express replaces the Ant+ agent for importing all the training we do...or don't as is my case this week.
