I know a nice man who will import XL into FE (see the little icon over there --- > > > ). So if you export from Garmin TC to XLS then send Sir Fetch the XLsheet. If you haven't already typed them all in of course!

As I've not used my HRM thing for months I wouldnt swear to it though. Incidentally, you can turn off the GPS by pressing and holding the mode button. This bring up the multi-sport transition bit and also has an option to turn off the GPS.

MoscowFlyer Nov 2008 8:24am, 26 Nov 2008 904 posts	MoscowFlyer The calorie count definitely doesn't work, it gave me my current and average HR in the gym this morning and the timer was on, but the counter stayed at 0, so it obviously doesn't work indoors.
Bob! Nov 2008 4:08pm, 26 Nov 2008 1,323 posts	Bob! MF It's not that it doesn't work indoors. The calorie counter is based on the distance travelled as measured by GPS, so if you're running on the spot indoors (or outdoors) you won't have travelled any distance.
