I think Motionbased is an American site and they won't be out over there until next month, so don't know "if or when" they'll be released here.

just another quick tip for people using sporttracks...

get the elevation correction plug-in. It corrects garmin elevation information with accurate elevation data to give a true elevation profile (it also shows how flaky garmin elevation data is!)

"This plugin corrects the elevation of GPS tracks using SRTM elevation data, which is automatically downloaded from the official NASA FTP server. The plugin can also download enhanced SRTM data from Viewfinder Panoramas where available. In addition, custom elevation data provided by the user can be used for elevation correction. All available digital elevation models are listed on the Settings page, and the priority between them can be changed. There is an option to automatically correct data at import, and an option to download elevation data covering all activities in the logbook, so that no further downloads will be needed to correct the activities."

found a place that sells the quick release one , i take it the 305 still works when your cycling and the cycle mount is so that you can see it rather than keep lifting your arm up to keep looking at it

site of the quick release gpsonlineshop.co.uk

Sorted, Thanks Flanks! Now that is a cool download......

Shows that some of my flatter runs aren't and some of my hillier runs are pretty hilly!

Flanker, that altitude plug-in was a great tip. Thanks. Can't recommend anything else - only upgraded to ST2 yesterday so it's the only one I've played with.
