Motionbased Review: Take 1

After reading a glowing review of the Garmin <a href="http://www.motionbased.com/">Motionbased</a> online service from an <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/reviews/gear.php?gearID=195">Edge 305</a> owner I was stoked to see what the hype was about. After wading through system errors and software downloads I have to say I just don't get it. Motionbased accounts are free and they allow you to do advanced visualization and analysis of your GPS training data (though it seems to work best with Garmin Edge and Forerunner data). The free accounts limit you to your last 10 workouts and if you want to track more you'll have to pony up at least $95 a year for the privilege. After using Motionbased for a short time I honestly didn't see the usefulness of the additional data. Of course I'm not training for the Tour mind you but the Garmin Training Center software that is included with the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/reviews/gear.php?gearID=195">Edge 305</a> suits my needs just fine‚ it displays distance, average speed, elevation profile, total climb, heart rate, calories, cadence, and a basic map for all my activities already. Motionbased does add wind speed and temperature data (which is pretty cool actually, they must pull this from local weather reports) and allows you to download your data in various formats (including GPX, very cool). Motionbased displays route maps on a Google Map which is good but what website doesn't do this already? Motionbased also allows you to share your GPS data with others and this seems like an interesting feature (though I haven't tried it yet). <div style="text-align: center;"><img id="image296" alt="trainingcenter.gif" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=

Of course I'm not training for the Tour mind you but the Garmin Training Center software that is included with the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/reviews/gear.php?gearID=195">Edge 305</a> suits my needs just fine‚ it displays distance, average speed, elevation profile, total climb, heart rate, calories, cadence, and a basic map for all my activities already. Motionbased does add wind speed and temperature data (which is pretty cool actually, they must pull this from local weather reports) and allows you to download your data in various formats (including GPX, very cool). Motionbased displays route maps on a Google Map which is good but what website doesn't do this already? Motionbased also allows you to share your GPS data with others and this seems like an interesting feature (though I haven't tried it yet). <div style="text-align: center;"><img id="image296" alt="trainingcenter.gif" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=

After reading a glowing review of the Garmin <a href="http://www.motionbased.com/">Motionbased</a> online service from an <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/reviews/gear.php?gearID=195">Edge 305</a> owner I was stoked to see what the hype was about. After wading through system errors and software downloads I have to say I just don't get it. Motionbased accounts are free and they allow you to do advanced visualization and analysis of your GPS training data (though it seems to work best with Garmin Edge and Forerunner data). The free accounts limit you to your last 10 workouts and if you want to track more you'll have to pony up at least $95 a year for the privilege. After using Motionbased for a short time I honestly didn't see the usefulness of the additional data. Of course I'm not training for the Tour mind you but the Garmin Training Center software that is included with the <a href="http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/reviews/gear.php?gearID=195">Edge 305</a> suits my needs just fine‚ it displays distance, average speed, elevation profile, total climb, heart rate, calories, cadence, and a basic map for all my activities already.
