Anyone with a Garmin running watch that can give me some help? I have a forerunner 410 and I'm using the Garmin express software to upload my runs (that I downloaded from the Garmin connect website). Now it's telling me that I have to download the updates for it to work, which I'm currently trying to do, but it's not working. I'm getting very frustrated. I just want to upload my runs for goodness sake!! Anyone with similar problems? Is there another way I can upload my data? Please help if you can! It will be much appreciated!!

    I have a 310xt and I gave up on the express software long ago bc IT NEVER FREAKING WORKS. What I do is use the USB ANT stick along with the Garmin ANT Agent to get the raw data files to my computer. From there you can the files to whatever site you want (Garmin Connect/ Map my run /runkeepr) to analyze the data.

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I don't have the ANT agent, just the USB stick, so I think I'm forced to use the darn software. I used to be able to upload to runkeeper directly, but that just suddenly stopped working as well a few weeks ago. So annoying!!

    the ANT agent is software you can download. It is the old bulletproof Garmin software before garmin tried to get all fancy with its express software (which looks good but isnt functional).

    You can download it here:

    It works in conjunction with your watch and USB stick to get the raw data files on the computer.

    When I couldn't get Express to install on my Vista PC, I found the link above and now just use the Ant Agent. From reading the Garmin Forum, express is unreliable.
