PT power-link
Hi.
I have a new PT Pro and the software is nothing like the software displayed on www.power-tap.com why is this? is that software for the sl only and if so does it work with the pro? The MAP tab talked about does not seem to be on my software at all or am I missing something? Thanks |

Re: PT power-link
If you're referring to the Powerlink software, then it looks like you can download the software using the big grey box at the top of the software description window. I haven't tried it, but that appears to be how you'd get the displayed software.

http://www.power-tap.com/products/powerlinksoftware.htm This is new software. It wasn't there a few weeks ago, and is definitely not what came with my recent PT purchase. Interesting, and a definite improvement. |

You probably didn't get this software with your new PT because, at last check at least, it was still in the not-ready-for-prime-time stage. Specifically, Graber decided to go with a Java-based program for their replacement to the original Link package, so that it could be more readily ported over to Macs. The end result, however, is/has been a program that runs so slowly on most PCs that it is basically unusable - in fact, last I heard they were going to scrap the program entirely, and start all over again. (What I find interesting is the fact that the felt the need to come up with something called "CycleOps scores"...wonder what stimulated that development?  ) |

They should just buy out CyclingPeaks. Course I'm sure that is easier said then done. |

No it's not... I downloaded it a few months ago. It's garbage. Want proof? Scroll a graph a little bit to the side... the lines move but the axis labels don't until you scroll about 1/2 of the range between two labels then they snap to the next position. Go to the full screen graph... x-axis label frequently disappear completely. Complete garbage. I used it for a few weeks before switching to CyclingPeaks thinking that I spent so much on the PT that I wasn't going to pay for software too. In the end I did. CP isn't perfect either but it's 90% there where the Java PT software is 40%. |
