Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Garmin Training Centre / Connect / Fetch / or what?

Hipps, my 310 happily uploads to Fetch using the Garmin import thing on the do stuff quickly menu. The note saying it doesn't work is a red herring.

I don't have TC installed at all. Ant stick downloads the runs and uploads to Connect (and creates the FIT and TCX files in the background).

However I still use SportTracks as my primary log (which also uploads) and log on here just for Fetchpointing.

My 310 does connect, but it gives the impression for a good long while that it's all going to go to shit.

Connects, "transferring data" comes up, no progress bar but percentages. Gets to 100%, then "processing data". Then my browser stops, regardless of whether I'm using Firefox or Explorer. At that stage I usually go off and get a drink or go to the bog or something. A few minutes later an "Unresponsive Script" warning used to come up to which I'd have to click "Keep Running" (of course!)- although now I've ticked the box which says "Don't ask me again". I can then go off and get my shower.

When I get back I have another "Unresponsive Script" warning and I do as above. Usually at this point my e-mail client is working, so I can read my e-mail. Once I've done that, usually, I can go back to Fetch and get the list of run that I want to upload.

You can tell when the thing's about to do something, because the whole Internet browser window shifts right about half an inch, then back again.

It's a faff, admittedly, but still less of a faff than uploading to TC, downloading a GPX file, saving it, opening Fetch, uploading the GPX file...

I've had that with my 305 DeeGee - the browser choice is key. The only time I use IE is to upload the Garmin, as the plug-in is not (or certainly was not) compatible with Chrome

Hi,
My Garmin Forerunner 305 never has uploaded to fetch. For the life in me i have never got it to work...why? I have had advice from all sorts of folk (even Garmin themselves) - done has ever worked! One of my friends 305 works great yet another one of my friends also has problems like me. I have heard this in many threads before. I just add the training manually, its kind of rewarding i think to actually type in your achievemnts and then sit back and think " I ran that...." :) keep on runn'in......
