motionbased problems
ok, i've not had broadband for a while and am now back in the land of the living with my new connection. i've been saving all my rides on my gps and they all show up on the history section. i've gone to upload them onto my inbox on motionbased and after initially uploading for a while it says once comlete that there are no new rides on my device!!!! what gives???
by the way, some of you already know i'm far from being an I.T. expert but this is a fairly basic task!
Bike Route Toaster
Very useful:

Turn on OSM (Open Street Map) and cycle/walk auto routing (in the right sidebar) and the cycle layer (right button on the map).
Edge 305 & GPX Files
I have exported the route created on bikely and tried to load it in my Edge 305 but I am having dificulties. Has anyone loaded routes from bikely before or am I doing something wrong. To load to the GPS unit I am using the Motionbased Agent but it says something like invalid file.
PS. If someone has the Edge 305 and could test it using the below link that would be great

PDA software MyMotion for GPS route tracking
I was looking for software for free that I could use on my PDA Dopod
D810 aka HTC P3600 which has inbuilt GPS. I came across:
http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/mymad...
Provides tracking info and data such as altitiude, distance, time etc
unfortunately no HR ability.
Unsure on battery life as can't ride at present due to a hand injury
at the dam but a test in the car with the file saved to a kmz file
and emailed to my PC showed excellent accuracy with distance markers.
MotionX-GPS on my iPhone
I just downloaded a free app on my iPhone from the app store called MotionX-GPS. I got the light version which is free and there is another version which you pay about $3 for. The free one is unreal, but i may end up getting the paid version to support this great developer.
Anyhow below is the information that it gave me after a ride when i chose the option to email the ride (track) to me. To test it i just did a road ride around Homebush and didn't start it properly until i got to Silverwater.
more garmin talk!
been looking at getting a hrm or gps/both and would rather spend in australia than overseas if the price is anyway competitive. does anyone know of the cheapest deal on a garmin edge 305? i know hans recently got a good price for a 705 but after yet another bike purchase i cant stretch the budget for the full colour blingy one!
Do you own a Garmin Edge device? Has it broken?
Knight Rider GPS
I can't believe it, but seems true. Here's the perfect GPS for your Raleigh Grifter!
...those LED’s on each side not only sweep just like the real thing but also sync to voice...
