Does anyone know if they make wrist attachment for the edge series so you can wear it like a watch... say if I wanted to use it as like a stop watch on runs?
Classic!!! :cry::rofl:

I can't get the Garmin/Motionbased stuff to work on my MAC...any suggestions?
P.S. I used the 705 in a 12 hour race, it lasted for 8 and a 1/2 on full brightness which I needed because of the sun.
Oooo...I like the Player mode of Garmin Connect.

Much improved over MotionBased. One of my beefs with MotionBased is that you can not tell which direction the route was ridden. Also being able to click on the map or profile and see the corresponding point in the other is a great addition.
For the MAC, take a look at ASCENT - it is a really good activity tracker program, IMHO waaaay better than Garmin Training Center

One feature that I think is important that is lost when moving from Motionbased to Garmin Connect is you can't export anything from the GC web site. I use this feature a lot on Motionbased when I go to a new area - I find someone else's tracks that look like a reasonable ride and download the course and use it as a navigation aid in the new area. I also sometimes like to look at my tracks in Google Earth, which is easy to do from Motionbased, but not available in GC. I emailed Garmin about it, and they replied:
"Thanks for contacting Garmin Connect.
Unfortunately the export feature is not yet available (even for us). We will release this feature in the next few months, so you will eventually be able to export to other programs.
Garmin Connect does not yet offer Google Earth export. We will be incorporating the use of Google Maps and Google Earth with a release in the near future."
Given the delays in development time for GC, a "few months" may be significantly longer than that...
It's not even uploading a map of that park - its the bread crumb mapping that lets you know how to get back!
I just recently got this as a birthday present. The 705 has a barometric altimeter. While I was riding the D&R Canal, it showed a gain in elevation of 30 feet, and then no drop when I looped back around to the start. During my ride, however, it began to rain, which would indicate a low pressure system moving in. Has anyone else had a similar experience and know of a way to correct to it?
Barometric will always be affected by the weather. Use the GPS 3D mode for Altitude.
-I need the actual Garmin City Navigator maps to do turn-by-turn directions or are there free alternatives?
