Re Ant :- There was a less-buggy version on the Garmin forums which being a fedora user I needed, as could not use the deb packages.
The link went astray, so I ended up putting it here for people https://github.com/jamesarbrown/Gant Simply as a download source. I am more than happy to pass this git branch over and transfer it to a proper developer. Or you can fork etc. The original references used can be found on my blog here http://www.jamesarbrown.com/?p=5 which shows getting stuff from a 405 into PyTrainer. Willing to test anything on my 405 if it helps.
