→Installation and Preparation
== Installation and Preparation==
* Install SportsTracks normally.
* Download the plugin and save it on your hard drive. The file should save automatically as a '.st3plugin' file, but some browsers get confused and try to save it as a '.zip'. If that happens, rename the file to '.st3plugin'. The plugin is available at http://fellrnr.com/Utilities/PolarSyncPlugin/FellrnrPolarSyncPlugin_1.0.23.st3plugin
* Double click the .st3plugin file to install.
* Check the plugin is installed correctly
** Check that 'Fellrnr.com's Polar Pro Trainer Sync Plugin' is shown <br/>http://fellrnr.com/images/settings-plugins-polar.jpg
* Import all of your .hrm files using the normal SportTracks import
== Mapping Polar Sports Types to SportTracks Categories ==
One of the primary purposes of this plugin is to set the SportTracks Activity Categories based on the Polar information. Polar has a simple string that is the exercise type, but SportTracks has a hierarchy of categories. The plugin will look for delimiters in the Polar activity name, such as hyphen, comma, period, and assume that the sub-parts of the names from a category hierarchy. So if the name is "Running - Intervals", the plugin will look for the category "Intervals" under "Running", which should be under "My Activities".
