You can upload from your garmin now, download some data not routes yet. <BR/><BR/>Garmin's been incredibly slow in getting macifified. they promised full mac support 3 years ago. Zzzzzz. <BR/><BR/>You can come over any time with your mac for lessons.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612195435351498466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588674977533363656.post-82737126397424698342008-04-22T09:45:00.000-04:002008-04-22T09:45:00.000-04:00Does anyone have books I can read/reference?

I went and bought the Macs for dummies but I would much rather save the money and return it. <BR/>I'm totally up for getting together and contributing nothing but gaining much knowledge. That works for me. <BR/>Incidently, Matt just installed some Garmin software to help with getting routes IN to the comp, but it doesn't have a Mac application so back to the ol' PC. I'm definitely finding I want to set my routes rather than have the comp choose.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906307305114091441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588674977533363656.post-39996150700860863902008-04-21T23:28:00.000-04:002008-04-21T23:28:00.000-04:00Auto start/stop is not a default setting and must ...Auto start/stop is not a default setting and must enabled.

I don't think I intentionally overrode the auto start/stop. And hey, I read the manual a lot- I learned a bunch already, just I guess I don't know what I don't know until I need to know it. <BR/>Ah.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906307305114091441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588674977533363656.post-77503731877757434852008-04-20T10:23:00.000-04:002008-04-20T10:23:00.000-04:00Hello.

So if you override the auto-stopping at zero mph, that'll be averaged in ,because you're telling the computer to do so.<BR/><BR/>The garmin does a lot of great things, you should really read the manual a bit to get some of them down, they're really cool.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595054729982363406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588674977533363656.post-36506731724138936412008-04-20T08:58:00.000-04:002008-04-20T08:58:00.000-04:00It does not require you to hit stop and start. It ...It does not require you to hit stop and start. It requires you hit start when you begin your trip, it will auto-stop any time your speed drops to zero. It will then auto start again when your speed becomes greater than zero. <BR/><BR/>Zero mile per hour sections are NOT included in the ride average data, as (if you're correctly just hitting start at the beginning of the ride and letting it pause when you pause) you're not moving during zero, so there's no distance vs speed to calculate. <BR/><BR/>What your overall average WILL do however is give you averages of your speeds approaching zero. As you slow for a light, as you speed up after the light. unless you program the computer to "stop/pause" at a certain speed, like 2mph or 3mph. That's also in the settings/manual. <BR/><BR/>If you'd like to see how fast you go on a particular section, hit the lap button (the same button you press and hold to reset) when you start the section, and hit it again when you stop. That'll give you a time for your "lap" which is different than your overall average. <BR/><BR/>You can save that lap in the computer and you can re-run that lap against your previous time. RTFM.<BR/><BR/>Screen shots on mac; Command-Shift-3. Results in an image saved to your desktop called "Picture 1" If you want to capture a part of your screen only, hit command-shift-4, brings up cursors, you click hold while dragging from one corner to the toher you want to capture. When you let go, image is taken.<BR/><BR/> We haven't forsaken you, you haven't asked any questions.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595054729982363406noreply@blogger.com
