This section explains some special cases to importing activities to SportTracks
Question:
How can I import data from the device to SportTracks?
Answer:
You can import data to SportTracks from various devices and formats. This post explains some ways (the list is not in suggested order).
A Many Garmin devices with USB or serial interface
Requires the Garmin USB drivers
Supported by default in ST
As the Garmin protocol is similar, you can try a another device if your specific model is not displayed.
(For some newer devices, see below)
More info further down this thread.
B Garmin Fitness devices
This includes devices like Edge 705 "mass storage USB" or ForeRunner 405 (50?) "ANT agent" that is not supported by the Garmin USB drivers in addition to the older direct USB access like the ForeRunner 305.
This SportTracks plugin could probably be extended to other Garmin devices too.

C Other SportTracks device import plugins
A number of devices are supported by other plugins. This includes Globalsat, Polar and many others.
See the SportTracks plugin list:

D Import by file
If the device works as a USB mass storage device like the Edge 705, you can import directly from the device using files.
Some formats are better than other, see below.
E Import from device with another application, then import file
Use for instance the native application that comes with the device, export a file, then import according to D
This works with for instance many Polar devices.
Some Garmin 405 users prefer this way as well, importing the files the ANT agent leaves behind when importing to Garmin Training Center.
