Ascent 1.10.0 - Helps cyclists, runners, and hikers train better using GPS devices. (Demo)

Ascent is an application designed to help cyclists, runners, and hikers train better by organizing activity data and presenting it in useful ways.

Using Ascent, you can download activity data directly from your GPS into the program, and immediately begin analyzing the data as it is presented to you in various graphical and textual formats. The "Animation" feature lets you re-play the activity so you can review in detail your performance during any segment of the activity.

Ascent Includes:

Main Browser

• Ascent organizes your activities in the main browser by year, month, week, activity, and lap. Each level displays running totals for all data.

• The Map View plots the path you followed against one of several different, selectable map types.

• The Activity View allows you to plot the activity data, such as altitude, speed, heart rate, and cadence against distance.

• The Summary View plots totals or averages for various data items on a weekly or monthly basis.

• Equipment Log feature added - tracks how many miles and how much time each equipment item is used. Multiple equipment items can now be specified per activity. For each equipment item, a maintenance log is provided to track mileage and time between maintenance events. Custom equipment pictures can be imported into the log for each equipment item.
• Peak Power Interval support added - in the Activity Detail display, peak power intervals can be shown for various durations (possible settings are made in the drawer below the window).
• Power data is now calculated based on gradient, user+equipment weight, and speed if no power data from a power meter is available.
• Garmin Sync widget added - uses the Garmin browser plug-in to read activities from your Garmin device and imports them into Ascent, providing an alternative sync method to Ascent's native sync (NOTE: this feature is experimental).
• Overall performance has been greatly improved, especially within the main browser and during searches.
• Notes field in the main browser can now be edited directly (no popup window anymore).
• Fixed many bugs.

• Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
• Ascent is currently compatable with the following devices:
