==Installation==
* Download the command line executable from http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibrationCLI.exe
* Download the GUI executable from http://fellrnr.com//Utilities/CalibrateFootPod/GarminFootpodCalibration.zip and extract** There are two files, a .exe and a .dll that have to be in the same folder together.
* Check the executable for viruses (trust no one!)
== Gathering the data==
This utility does not require a special calibration run to gather data. Any run with your Garmin 310XT and Foot Pod enabled will provide the data needed. Running at a steady pace will provide good data. If you take walking breaks, this will tend to produce a lot of variability.
==GUI Version==
* Run the executable (GarminFootpodCalibration.exe).
* On startup it will look for the history files transferred for the Garmin Ant Agent.
===Easy Mode===
* On startup, you should see a screen similar to the one below

* Use the tree view on the left to select the file you are interested in. You can expand a file with laps to view each lap seperately.
* Entering your current calibration factor will show a new calibration factor you can enter based on the selected exercise or lap.
* If you know the distance you ran, such as a marked course or a treadmill, you can enter that value for a more accurate calibration.
* Hovering the mouse will produce extra help.
* You can load a file that has been exported from Garmin Training Center (see below) using the File, Open menu.
* The graphs give a visual representation of the calibration data.
** The top graph is the distance recorded by GPS and the Footpod. The values vary, as the Garmin does not record at even intervals,
** The bottom graph is the scaling factor. The horizontal lines show the average and the standard deviations.
===Expert Mode===
* Clicking on the 'Expert Mode' check box gives more detail and more options.
