Hey Steve, also very impressed with your graphs. I just finished my first run with the Garmin 205 and ofcourse played with both motion based and Sporttracks. Why do you use both? Sporttrack seems more userfriendly but I love your Motionbase Map with the mileage in it.Did you create that in Google Earth? Regards from cold NYC

I've uploaded all my runs to Motionbased since purchasing my 301. I wasn't aware of SportTracks until a couple of months later. I suppose it's just habit now. I still maintain my own logbook which has got all my runs recorded since 2001, just a MS Access database. The beauty of this is that I can retrieve stats any which way I want. I like to dabble in programming code. The maps produced are via SportTracks to Google Earth. - Thanks for dropping by.

Must be getting so exciting there right now. Are you going to any events? Do you have a good vantage point planned to watch the marathon?

Tesso is referring to the Commonwealth Games here in Melbourne. I'll be watching the Games on TV - oh, the TV will be on a P&O Cruise Ship the Pacific Sun. A week on Sunday we're all off on a 10 day cruise. I believe the ship has a running track. What I want to do is record the run on my Garmin, it should make for an interesting course, I envisage either a straight line maybe with a slight spiralling effect..

At least someone knows how to put their Garmin through its paces i don't know how you get all these graphs up!

Ok, as if I wasn't envious enough as is - a Pacific cruise!!!! Actually forget envious, make that jealous!

What fun! That is one hell of a vantage point. And I thought I was lucky, a big group of runners have booked the local to watch the marathon.

Is Internet access on board? I'm looking forward to some interesting blog entries while you are away.
