Why are distances in Garmin Training Center and TrailRunner sometime different?
21/09/08 02:22 Filed in: Import
Problem: The ForeRunner device displays a distance for a workout. Garmin Training Center displays the same distance but TrailRunner displays a different distance.
Background: Your ForeRunner records geographical data points during the workout. At the same time your ForeRunner internally sums up the distance for the workout. It could sometimes happen that if you sum up the distances between each data points the result will be different to what the ForeRunner has summed up during the workout.
Reason: If you have intelligent recording enabled on your ForeRunner and the GPS signal quality isn't too good, the device will alter the recorded geographical course after it knows better. Problem is that at the same time the overall distance should also be adjusted, which is not the case.
Status: TrailRunner takes only the geographical information from the workout and takes this as the base. If your ForeRunner has internally stored a different distance, TrailRunner assumes this as an error in the ForeRunner device as it delivers contradictory information.

Problem: While Trailrunner already has some statistical graphs built in, you sometimes still want to create your own graphs like e.g "calories burnt per kilometer".
Solution: Select the diary entries in TrailRunner and use Edit > Copy to paste the data into an external spreadsheet application like NeoOffice or Excel. To select all etries in TrailRunner, use Command-A.
Tip: If you import your data into NeoOffice, follow these step to make NeoOffice use one column for each diary column.
Copy the diary entries
Open NeoOffice and select a new spreadsheet.
Press Command-P to paste the history in.
In the popup that appears, verify the Separator options - the settings should be “separated by tab".
