Garmin uploads for training forum

Just an idea, is there anywhere you can upload your garmin/gps data online and then post it to the training forum? Somthing like a graph with time/distance/etc. Would be good to compare data, show what is possible, inspire the weak, etc. I've always found a bit of competition works wonders with training, it's always easier to compete against someone else that the clock!

I know people can just say what they've done, but this would make things a bit easier/cooler. Like I said, just an idea, not sure if it's actually possible...

I usually just do a screengrab using Lightscreen and attach it to my post.

I started work on a website with tools for processing Garmin files (lap split/merge, gap elimination, power spike removal etc) and graphing tools but haven't had time to finish it.

Check out RideWithGPS. It's got the best route drawing interface, plus you can upload all your actifvity from your Garmin. It will log it in the Activite Log.Here is my page. I just started using it but so far so good. You can also add friends and follow their progress etc.. They guys are introducing the uploading for courses to the garmin directly very soon.

Really blows MapMyRide, GarminConnect and the others out of the water IMHO

Just started using this. Looks pretty cool. If there was someway to upload my sporttracks logbook,that would be neat. I've far too many entries to export/import one by one.

It doesn't look like it. You could ask them to implement some feature where you upload a zip file of gpx data but I'd doubt they'd be keen. Too much traffic and cpu requirements. In any case you could use it going forward, in parallel with sportstrack..... (although from my own experience one usually falls by the wayside sooner or later).

This is really cool, except it's not picking up my power data.

I have been looking for an online system like this for a while. All the others had a threshold of what you get before you have to pay. This might fit the bill.
