Garmin Software

[ADZ]

Hi there. For you all that use a Garmin Edge when you are riding, what do you use to off load your data? I have been using Ascent which i like a lot (much better and stable then Garmin Software). Also I like the option to backup all my ride to a hard drive and not just on Garmin's server.

Any suggestion with other third party software out there?

Ascent is the best if you're not using a powermeter. I do use a Pm, so I upload to GC, occasionally strava which is good, but not free; although there is plenty of discount codes out there, trainingpeaks/wko via device agent, an ascent. Ascent doesn't give me any worthwhile info when I upload power data, but I find it the easiest to use so I use it for logs mainly. Garmin should invest in better software developers and less in protour teams.

Just save all my rides using Garmin Training Centre. I only upload things to Garmin Connect when I think other people might like to follow the route themselves.

sport tracks?

I do the same as 6thElement. There is another software package called Sport Tracks which looks like it might be good, but I've never used it.

I think it's free but I'm not sure....
