I own the garmin edge 705, and since using this app i have never looked back at garmin's training software. Along with a great application was immediate technical support. The one thing I would like to see on the next update is a totals view at the end of each week in the home/calendar screen, such as polar have in their software. Keep up the good work!

This application is just awesome, and it continues to improve with each revision. If you own a bike, road or mountain, and a Garmin GPS, you can NOT be without with application. Worth every penny and more.

Tried TrackRunner and TrailRunner and neither of the two programs was satisfying. Then i stumbled across Ascent and immediately i felt home.
