Garmin 500 question. Part 2
Device is not recognized when trying to upload data. Anyone out there with a similar problem? Just started doing this today.

Is this uploading to Garmin Connect? If so I think it's is having issues today. Mine keeps trying to upload my ride, nothing happens. I uploaded to Ascent and it worked fine. I hope Garmin Connect is back up by tomorrow.

golden cheetah is another option to track your rides. It's an opensource software package that is really optimized for training with a powermeter, but you don't need power data if you just want to track all the other stuff. You can look at trends over time, look at rides on the map, etc., way more stuff then you would need. Also, all the data stays on your computer (good or bad), so you don't have to worry about some website being available. It is so much better than Garmin Connect or Training Center.
Give it a shot, it's very easy to use and fun to play with all the graphs (if you're into that sort of thing).

I actually like the RWGPS site. The 2 guys who created it are whicked cool hackers from the NW and they are always welcoming ideas and what not. As an open source developer myself, I respect their ideas greatly, and yes Golden Cheetah rocks, especially since I have committed source there in the past
