Manually Transferring Data To Garmin Connect from Motionbased

Please realize that your MB activities will eventually be migrated. You'll end up with duplicates once the migration completes.

Go to http ://trail.motionbased.com/trail/export.mb?episodePkValues=xxxxxxx&forceVersion2=true.
Replace xxxxxxx with the activity ID number you want to export. That will download the tcx file of the activity. Go to http://connect.garmin.com/transfer/upload# and do a manual upload of that file.

when will they be migrated? i haven't seen one yet?

if I were to do it manually, where is the activity # located?

thanks.

In the meantime, here is the text:

This was the last update we made regarding the Migration of data from MotionBased to Garmin Connect:

Garmin Connect the next generation of MotionBased -- is now open to all Garmin fitness devices. Garmin Connect offers a better experience with a cleaner user interface and improved site performance that you'll enjoy when analyzing your workout data on new and improved features.

As of today, 80% of all activities at MotionBased have been migrated to Garmin Connect. As a result, you can login at Garmin Connect with your MotionBased username and find most of your activities. The remaining 20% will be migrated over the next few months. Most of these are larger activities which take longer to transfer.

Friday 31 July 2009 will be the last day that MotionBased will accept uploads from Garmin fitness devices. Therefore, we encourage all MotionBased customers who have a Garmin fitness device to take advantage of the new site and make the switch to Garmin Connect now, where you'll find most of your activities already waiting.

For those of you using Garmin outdoor handheld devices, MotionBased will still be available to you until Garmin Connect supports those devices in the Fall 2009.

Supported Devices:

• Forerunner 310XT
  
• Forerunner 405CX
  
• Forerunner 405
  
• Forerunner 305
  
• Forerunner 205
  
• Forerunner 301
  
• Forerunner 201
  
• FR60
  
• Forerunner 50
  
• Edge 705
  
• Edge 605
  
• Edge 305
  
• Edge 205
  

A few things to note:

• If you don't see an activity from your MotionBased account on Garmin Connect, don't panic. We are migrating activities by date and size.
  
• Some of your activities may not have migrated because they were either large files or had some data peculiarities. We will run several phases of our migration script to eventually get all of your activities from MotionBased to Garmin Connect. In some rare cases, we may not be able to migrate your activity to Garmin Connect.
  
• Garmin Connect is using a different methodology to smooth elevation gain/loss compared to MotionBased. As a result, especially for Forerunner devices, the elevation gain/loss numbers will be inflated. We are still working on our smoothing algorithm and intend to run this across all activities at Garmin Connect in the future to more accurately reflect the actual gain/loss.
  
• Garmin Connect does not support weather at this time. We plan on introducing this feature at Garmin Connect. When we do, it will run against all past, present, and future activities at Garmin Connect.
  
• Garmin Connect does not offer the Analyzer, Saved Reports, Dot Racing, or Viewports features as you know them at MotionBased. We plan on offer these features at Garmin Connect in the future. When we do, they will be much more robust and customizable where applicable.
  
• Garmin Connect will support the Garmin outdoor and automotive/motorcycle product lines in the fall of 2009. In the meantime, we recommend that you continue uploading activities from these devices to MotionBased.
  
• At this time, Garmin Connect does not have a premium service. All of the features at Garmin Connect are free. We plan to introduce a premium service in the future. MotionBased customers with a premium account will be grandfathered into the Garmin Connect premium service for a period of time at no cost.

MB migration

Does anyone know when the migration will be completed? Most of my data still has not been moved over to Garmin Connect.
