Logbook of Captain Emiliano Bruni

I have been asked by many, as it is possible that, although the Garmin Forerunner 305, I am able to load my sports at Garmin Connect.

Indeed, even the help page of the site, it appears that, at least for now, the only models supported are

and then apparently not possible to save these races on their 305.

Effective and attempting to upload, though the device is detected,

an attempt to upload, however, leads to an error message. A similar error is obtained by importing the file manually. Tcx exported by 305.

But, of course, there's a trick and this trick passes right to import the file manually. Tcx but with a little extra step that will believe the Garmin Connect site you are uploading a file obtained from 405 instead of the 305.

First uploaded to your business if you have not already done so, in the Garmin Training Center software that came with your watch.

Click, right-click on an activity and export it as. Tcx.

Now, the trick to convert your files from a file exported from the File Export from 305 to 405, is to open the file with a text editor. You get good even though the notebook is not really the best, Mgar Pick another as, for example, the PSPad.

Anyway, the change is simple. Must go to the end of the file and identify the following section:

<ProductID>484</ProductID>

and transform it into

<ProductID>717</ProductID>

The game is already done. You can now return to the upload page of Garmin Connect, select the upload manually fed him the file. Tcx just changed and you will see that everything will be well.

We see the steps needed to install Adobe Quicktime on a Windows XP, even if the procedure is similar on Windows Vista.

First, open your favorite browser, go to the address bar and type the following address:

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Once downloaded the page, you must select the item proposed not by default that also contains the iTunes software, to us useless, but I manually select the second element that is the "Quicktime 7.4.5 for Windows XP or Vista."

While we're at, because we do not want to receive mail from apple.com, remove the tick on the checkbox subscription to "New Music Tuesday" and the subscription to obtain information about software updates.

Without this we are ready to download the software by pressing the button "Free Download Now.

Then the usual screen will appear that requires the location to save the software in question, choose a location where the folder documents and await the conclusion of the download.

Once completed, just double-click the downloaded file to start the installation program or directly with the Run button in the download window.

The installation program just go straight ahead to complete the installation only after answering no to call to switch to QuickTime Pro diventanto from a mere spectator to the creator of video.

We have installed Apple Quicktime.
