Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I see. Thanks. I used to use it, but found it so dissatisfying that I prefer to pay for Strava Premium.

GoldenCheetah is free and lets you data-mine pretty good, right?

No kidding. For any "epic" rides, I bring my 705 as backup and run both. Wouldn't you know, the 510 crapped out half way back from Santa Barbara.

Yes, mine failed to complete sync on Sunday's ride. I was able to mount the unit via USB on Ubuntu and upload manually to Strava. No such luck on Garmin Connect -- which refused to load the FIT file due to an "error."

After I deleted Sunday's ride from the 510, it was able to complete the sync again.

Today's ride sync'd without problems.

I haven't been able to sync my 510 to Strava in over 6 months. I just upload the file manually after every ride. I tried loading and re-loading GC from the garmin site to no avail.

Edge 1000 user here. I haven't had any issues. There was one day they took garmin Connect down for maintenance a while back, but they mentioned that upfront on the site. I did a ride yesterday and uploaded it immediately after the ride.

for the record, I followed the instructions in the link I posted. Reformatted my 510 on a windows computer and updated firmware. Road today and it saved my ride and synced up with no problems. Of course I had no problems for the first couple of months I owned it until Sunday so I'm not ready to say its' fixed. Does seem like a lot of people had issues on Sunday so maybe it was the Garmin servers and my experience might have been something different

Yes, Garmin servers were down. It was a reported issue. They came back up later Sunday evening.

OK, I would someday like to get a device that has maps and I see all these issues with Garmin, is there a device that has maps without all these issues?

Garmin is pretty much it at this time for routing cycling GPS units.

Magellan/Mio is trying to break into the market...but their devices have a whole load of caveats and other annoyances.

Does Garmin Connect provide estimated power numbers like Strava does?

I've noticed that if I go to Activities and export my activities, it shows me some data I hadn't seen before like total strokes.

I'm wondering if estimated power is hidden in there somewhere.

Estimated power numbers aren't worth the pixels they take up. If you don't have a PM, focus on PE and buy a HR strap.

I havent been able to sync my iphone with my 510 for the better part of 6 months. I gave up on having it all sync, but I (my s/o) miss the livetrack for the longer rides.
