connect.garmin.com. However, this is a little flaky. I have a Mac, and I use Ascent. I also use www.ridewithgps.com, and import the gpx file from Ascent.

I use SportTraks by Zonefive Software (www.zonefivesoftware.com). It's great, and it's free!

I haven't used the others, but Ascent works pretty well for me.

I only wish the software would have something similar to a tag feature, so that if I wanted to search for Mt. Tam, I could see all routes tagged as Mt. Tam. I guess you could just include Mt. Tam in the description, but that's a lame workaround.

Ascent for me as well. Works great but it only works on Macs.

Use the keywords or Custom fields. You can assign 2 keywords to each ride and one Custom field.

BTW the only time I use garmin training is to upload course created by bikeroutetoaster.com
Sometimes I have trouble using a direct upload to the 305 from that site.
