If you have used both the Powertap software and the CyclingPeaks software, what do you like/dislike about both? Is CyclingPeaks the way (only way?) to go for viewing/analyzing your power data?
I've been using a Powertap Pro since March and am getting to the point where I want to view my data in some different ways. Powertap software is actually pretty nice for quickly getting info and looking at specific parts of the ride via the window zoom; however, there aren't many other options other than the bar graph of power.
I briefly tried the trial version of CyclingPeaks about a month or more ago. It gave much more of what i wanted, but it seemed really hard to do the things that the Powertap software does easily (zoom into a specific part of a ride and pull summary info on that window). Maybe I didn't give it enough time, before ditching the trial version?? Also, the trial version of CyclingPeaks made it such that I could not upload my data via Powertap software and thus couldn't have access to the .csv raw data files. Or at least I wouldn't know where they were stored?
I could always pull up the .csv file in Excel and do the calculations (normalized power, etc) and charts myself, but that's a pain in the ****.
Thanks for the help!
