 Options for Using a Garmin Edge 705 with Trainingpeaks Software:

 

  1. WKO+:
    • The EDGE 705 is compatible with WKO+, but it does not download directly. Simply plug it in to your computer and it becomes like a USB hard drive. You can "open" it and go to the History folder, there you will find the .tcx files of your rides. Drag the .tcx file onto WKO+ using the Import Existing Data method.
    • NOTE: make sure that you are using the most current build of WKO+.
  2. TrainingPeaks.com:
    • Upload from the Files Pod in your TrainingPeaks.com 3.0 online account (Device Agent does not work with the Edge 705).  To find the files on your Edge 705, simply plug it in to your computer and it becomes like a USB hard drive. You can "open" it and go to the History folder, there you will find the .tcx files of your rides.
    • Upload from Daily Log in your TrainingPeaks.com online account in Classic Mode.  To find the files on your Edge 705, simply plug it in to your computer and it becomes like a USB hard drive. You can "open" it and go to the History folder, there you will find the .tcx files of your rides.
  3. Export from Garmin Trianing Center:
    • Should you prefer to download first to Garmin Training Center, you can always export a single workout "History" .tcx file from there and import that to WKO+ or TrainingPeaks.com.

 

Tips and Troubleshooting: 

  • We recommend using the 1 second recording rate in your Edge 705, if you plan on using it with a power meter and/or if you are using it with WKO+; this ensures that both averages and power calculations are handled correctly. 
  • Make sure that your Edge 705 has the latest firmware loaded onto it, which he can get using the Garmin Webupdater:

  • Make sure that you have auto-pause on the Edge 705 set to OFF.
  • If you have an SD card with maps, we suggest removing it as you will see many dropped data points when using 1 second recording. 
  • For instructions on how to configure your Edge 705, and how to synch it with a powermeter, watch this help video (or contact Garmin directly):
