What is antpm

antpm is:

This software uses the Garmin ANT+ proprietary USB keys and communication protocol to retrieve information (such as GPS traces) from some Garmin Forerunner watches such as Forerunner 405 and 310XT.

The underlying ANT+minus implements the ANT/ANT+/ANT-FS protocols to provide these tools: garmin-ant-downloader, antpm-downloader, antpm-fit2gpx, and antpm-usbmon2ant.

ANT+minus is a userspace implementation of a wire protocol similar to the ANT/ANT+/ANT-FS protocols. The goal is to be able to communicate with any ANT capable device in order to e.g. retrieve sports tracks. The C++ implementation is currently available under both Linux and win. Communication with watches other than the 310XT might work, but are untested. Please report your experience to help improving the software.
