Hi there
Can anyone help a friend of mine? thought if anyone could, you guys could! Garmin disaster...
I wanted to add some notes to my garmin history tonight and went into my desktop shortcut to find that nothing was there, no history at all. Lots of searches and still no sign of the previous files.
Fortunately the device still had loads of files but not all as I'd obviously deleted some.
So any idea what the bl**dy h*ll I've done, I'd downloaded the sat run file and just closed down the programme, how could I have lost all files, where the bloody hell have they gone?

desktop shortcut to what? Sporttracks? Training Centre?
If it is TC there are a lot of reports of it randomly deleting data files on the web, though I've never suffered with it. Does she have backups she can restore the data file from?
Your friend should at least install the latest version of TC, and better still use sporttracks as well.

Batteries in Heart rate strap - how do you know when they need changing?

Clairster, I've had TC randomly trash a lot of data like that. I don't know any way of retrieving it. As flanker says, update to the newest version which has a convenient backup facility (about time too) and use it wisely.
CT, my 301 would do more weird stuff like the heart rate locking constant when I could feel it changing with my work rate, spiking or dropping very low. Not needed to change the 305 strap battery yet so no idea there, sorry.

I pout mine on - it read 0 - I checked and I was still alive - So I licked it and put it on - it read 49 and continued to read 49 with no variation during warm up - Then as I ran slowly climbed to 140s then peaked at 170 and stayed there depite stopping and walking and warming down - after shower etc sat at 170 - its as if it is stuck (I checked and pulse was in the 60s

Yep, that's it exactly. I think what happens is it only transmits pulses intermittently, and during the gaps the heart rate display stays at whatever it last received. Mine never reads as low as 49 though... must be broken...

Lucky you are a medical man CT. Mere mortals would have assumed they had shuffled off their coil and canned the run.
Sounds like that could well be the battery, and for a couple of qiud it's worth trying a new one anyway as a quick fix.
