    I just got my new garmin forerunner 405 and am trying to import runs from my mapmyrun courses to the garmin training site. Anyone know how this can be done.

     

    Thx

    I just got my new gadget too yesterday and after a while I figured it out. Note: you need to have a profile on Mapmyrun. I also noticed that installing the complete file from the Garmin site software update (the one including BOTH ANT driver and Garmin training software, ~20 MB) was the way to get a smooth synchronization between the watch and the PC INCLUDING the Garmin training Center.

    OPTION 1: From Mapmyrun to the Forerunner via Garmin Training Center:

    a) Click on "Map new run" and draw your course. Then on the map click "Save/save to my profile". Give it a name, just answer the questions on step 1, no need to go further.

    b) Click on "My runs" all above the screen and select the course you created. On the map now click "Save/Save as a Garmin course". Save it as your like on your PC.

    c) Open Garmin training center. Select “File/import/courses”. Browse to the file on your PC then OK. To transfer your course to your watch then click on the send to your device button, 2 buttons on the right of the course button.

    OPTION2: from the Forerunner to Mapmyrun: Dude I can't find it, I thought I saw some import button somewhere on that website at some point ! :-0

    I haven't successfully directly transfered maps from the watch to mapmayrun.  It sees the watch in the garmin communicator, but stays at 0% for transferred.  I think that is due to the watch being wirelessly connected to the computer.

    I made a file conversion tool though to make it possible for me.  If you export your run from Garmin Training Center into a .tcx file...you can use my tool if you like:

    You simply upload the file, and it'll create a .gpx that mapmyrun can import, and will auto-prompt you to save the file.  I don't mind if others use this while mapmyrun figures out how to make it work automatically.  :)

    Hi Mike

    I was really hoping your script would work but it starts and then I get a failure page.

     

    Any ideas?

    By now the Garmin Connect site allows you to export runs in TCX format. You can then upload the file into MMR.
