Life with TimmyD
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 16 ม.ค. 2020
Welcome to Life with TimmyD! I am TimmyD and I have one goal.... help you with things I am passionate about. I am the jack of all trades master of some. Stick around and I will help show you all that I have learned about cycling, building bikes on a budget, maybe some CNC woodworking, and a few other topics.
My passions are biking, saving money by DIY, photography, videography, 3D printing, and CNC woodworking. The main focus on this channel will be cycling with a sprinkle of the other topics listed above.
There are MANY good channels on youtube so how will this one be different? Most of the cycling channels assume that everyone already knows all the basics of cycling. Well they don't! I am here to bridge that gap! I also plan to go from 10 mile rider to 100 mile rider in 2021 so I hope you will join me in the journey.
I will have a website dedicated to budget bike building so that along with this channel, you should be able to build your own budget high quality bike!

Inexpensive dashboard storage netting for Polaris Ranger 570 full size. No more items falling out.
In this short video I show you the generic cargo netting I installed to keep all items from falling out of the open glove boxes in the Polaris Ranger 570 full size. These look nice, are dirt cheap, and work really well.

The UNWANTED truth of weightloss - How I lost 35 pounds
มุมมอง 623 ปีที่แล้ว
There are two categories of overweight people. Those who wish they weighed less and those who want to lose weight. In this video I share the unwanted truth of weight loss. Most people want a pill or magic drink to lose weight. I tell you how I have lost 35 pounds while doing what I really enjoy, riding my bike! But like any other sport or activity, simply doing more of it will not shed inches f...
GPS Quality Test GoPro Hero 8 vs Garmin Edge 830 vs Survey GPS
มุมมอง 2043 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I show how the quality of elevation data in the GoPro Hero 8 and the Garmin Edge 830 compare to the Emlid RS2 Survey grade GPS unit. The results are great for both units. However the data collected by the Google Pixel 2XL... not so much! I will be doing another video soon to show how I worked with the data for anyone interested in doing something similar. Thanks for watching and p...
2 Min - How to Add GPS Data using Telemetry Overlay program to GoPro TimeWarp Video
มุมมอง 4513 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a 2 minute no frill video on how to add a GPS Telemetry Map overlay to a GoPro TimeWarp video using the program Telemetry Overlay. Adding GPS overlay (or any telemetry) is relatively easy and straight forward on regular speed videos, but adding it to Timewarp (or Timelapse) videos is more involved unless you use software like Telemetry Overlay. I bought my software and I provide no link...

I've ridden on long and short trips for years, but always shied away from the GPS units, even though I have a handheld Magellan for hunting and hiking. Planning a long trip for spring and figured I'd get a head start on the setup. I was so frustrated that i was ready to send it back until I stumbled across your video. Tells me what I need to know, where the others get all bogged down in trivial features I don't need... Thanks for the effort!
Hi John, glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy that trip!
So helpful even though I have Garmin Edge Explore 2. I am frustrated planning my own courses, Garmin doesn’t use cycle routes and I hate cycling on main roads. (I’m 71 years old!! ) Any advice on planning own courses would be appreciated. Thanks.
hello @mrsspidermanband! You can use Google Earth to draw any route you want to go. You literally use the line (path) tool and draw the entire route you want to ride. You need to convert that file to a GPX file so that it can be imported into the Garmin Edge. In Google Earth Desktop, after you have created the complete route, you will see it in "My Places" on the left side of your screen. You will then right mouse click on that file and choose "Save As" to save the KML file to a folder on your computer. When you save it give it a meaningful name. NOw you go to kml2gpx.com/ to convert the KML to a GPX file. Once you have the GPX file you should be able to import that into the Garmin Edge. I have not created my own route but I am 99.9% sure that will get you taken care of. Hope that helps.
After my second Garmin Edge 520 died unexpectedly I decided to try something different - the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt instead of the Garmin 530. Boy! I'm glad I did. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxXZCtB-wGdHVTBSz8RswePK5vllHNi06N The display on the Wahoo Bolt is much easier to read. I like the configuration of the display more (up to 7 items visible on page 1 without scrolling and the first item chosen is larger characters than the next 3 rows that have pairs of items (still very readable). I also like the configurable item selections. The Bolt synced with my Garmin ANT+ Speed sensors on both bikes easily so no additional investment was required there. While the rated battery life is a couple hours less than the Garmin 520/530, I easily get a weeks worth of 1+ hour rides before recharging (and it's never really low on charge). At the end of a ride syncing to the Wahoo app, Strava, and Apple Health app is painless.
*Thanks for the help, this video is very much appreciated*
Hi. Just came across the channel and video. Just bought a new road bike and Garmin Edge 530. Moved my Garmin Varia from old to new bike and new bike has a built in power meter in the crank. I thought I could just go into settings and sensors and add those two items but got a message that said I need to be in pairing mode and am not sure what to do. I went into Garmin Connect be seemed to be getting hung up there. I'm sure I am missing something but any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
$150 software.
It is very good software.
thanks for the video. the user interface of garmin is a disgrace
Thank you. This was very helpful.
Excellent video. Thanks for putting in that you need to hit the record button for mapping out a ride.
Thanks for the effort. These video instructions are a great help!!!👍
Thank you! I just got the 830 and this was a great overview.😀
Hey Timmy, great video. I’m in the middle of that same journey myself. Down about 60 pounds so far. Hey I noticed that you said you purchased that bike in Greenville. Are you in Greenville South Carolina or Greenville North Carolina? Just curious because I live in Greenville South Carolina. You seem like a great guy and maybe our paths will cross at some point if we were both in the same city.
Excellent Video! Thks
Hi Timmy great video and perfect explanation. Do you know if there is a way to pin your start so that you can go back to that point, say mid-route. ?
Really enjoyed this video. It was top shelf.
I followed the same steps but it downloaded a map of Europe instead of Canada where I live. Does anyone know how to select different maps to download?
اليس هناك عربي ؟
Thanks for taking time to make the video. I have used phone Strava the last year and of course all my road buddies daily say "get a Garmin" Finally caved in and got one and as a 46 year old non tech guy i feel sooo lost even with basic stuff. I hope my $400 wasn't a waste haha...phone Strava is sooo easy. I live in Korea now but hearing you talk makes me miss my North Carolina home & friends. Cheers!
Greetings from stateside! Yep, the Garmin is nice. I love my Garmin Fenix 6 as well as the Garmin 830. And the Garmin app auto syncs everything right up to Strava so you never miss a beat there. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by the channel. I lived in Durham, NC when I was young and went to elementary school there until the 4th grade. Pretty much lived in MS every since then :)
Map update took about 20 or so minutes
Great video. Thanks
What is sharp bend warning and why do you have to turn it off?
Mario, it is just a warning that can alert you if there is a "sharp bend in the road". For road biking it is not needed. For motorcycle riding at high speeds, yes it would be beneficial. I guess for someone road biking down hills at high speeds on a winding road, then it could be useful there if your route will include very sharp turns. But where I live I have no use for it. Hope this helps.
Thanks, dude. I am looking into buying one of these and your video was really helpful. Nobody else's videos I saw showed the web interface, Garmin Express, or a view of courses on the actual device after uploading. You showed and explained every process in detail. I appreciate it. You said that you can transfer data to the device from your laptop (from Garmin Connect?) if they are both on the same wifi network, right? I don't use a mobile phone and I usually use Linux rather than Windows or Mac, so that sounds like it would be the most comfortable option for me, or copying .fit files after mounting the device's storage.
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Duncan Bennett I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Duncan Bennett it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Alfred Thaddeus glad I could help =)
4:49 laughed so hard
Great video, but I’m having issues with loading garmin express onto my computer, also tried going through the connect app, but had issues with opening Strava and Trailforks on the 830 Not a great start for me!
Thanks for making life a bit more simple! 😊
very good, just got mine today - i don't have a smart phone...so, what purpose is the wifi if i have to keep plugging in the 830 to my laptop via the USB cable? thanks
The wifi is so that the Garmin Edge will auto update your ride data to your Garmin account. If you set it up to connect to your home wifi then you do NOT have to plug it up to your laptop to sync your ride data. After it uploads to Garmin Connect (website) then you can see all of your data for the ride on your phone/tablet. Hope that makes sense.
@@lifewithtimmyd7641 hi, thanks for that, i have the wifi set up, but if i want to send a course to my 830 (from laptop) - then the USB has to be connected...
@@TheWeardale1 i would get a smartphone, much easier
Excellent video, very helpful. I have an iPhone and an Apple laptop. Towards the end you went through exporting a FIT file. I could not find "Export" on my laptop. Any suggestions? I did download it and then drag the file to my Garmin.
Hey great video help me out a lot. Question do you know how to set it up to where I can just free ride in it records everything without me preloading a course? It keeps putting A-line with a greater symbol on the screen when I'm trying to ride. Thanks for your time in any help
Hey JJ, when you start riding, you can simply press the button in the bottom right corner and it will change from a RED blinking square to a Green triangle. The triangle will be visible for a few seconds but that tells you that you are now recording. If at any time during the ride, you need to pause, simply push the same button (bottom right corner) and it will then give you the option, to SAVE, PAUSE, or DISCARD (I think that is right). If you push pause, then pushing it again after you start to ride again will resume the recording. When you are done, simply push the button and and select the SAVE option. That ride will get syncronized with Garmin Express the next time it connects to wifi. Hope this helps!
@@lifewithtimmyd7641 Hey thanks!
How many Saved Courses can you have sync? My buddy keeps saying he is only getting 2 courses at a time.
Can you clarify? Do you mean can you sync 3+ cameras recording the same course? The answer to that is yes. Let me know if you meant something else.
I wish I would’ve found this earlier.. great video
Do you think this will work with GoPro Hero 7?
yes it will. Any of the GoPros that have GPS data will work (I believe that is from the GoPro 5 forward. The main thing is to make sure you turn the camera on and get a good GPS signal before you start recording. Do not ever use the "instant record". If you go out and get a good signal then start recording you will be in good shape. This is nice software and constantly improving.
@@DroneMappingTools I paid for the software and it works great. Unfortunately, I've been in the habit of using the auto-on/off function with the record button. I was doing this to conserve battery while snowboarding, but as a result the GPS data is no good without any satellite fixes.
Very inspiring Timmy. I found your channel trying to learn how to get my Garmin 830 set up. I agree with everything you've said in this video. I was down 30 lbs but during Covid I gained back 12 by eating and drinking more, and poorer food choices. But, Covid got me more heavily into cycling - better cardio and heart health than pre-Covid, but heavier. Now I plan to lose those 12 plus a few more. I've ordered the book too. I look forward to more of your videos!!!
Thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. Great job on losing and getting in better cardio. I am at 190 and heading to 185. Another great book after “The Obesity Code” is by Dr Ken Berry and it is called “Lies My Dr Told Me”. I would definitely read obesity code 1st but the second one is an excellent book which deals with a lot of nutritional stuff as well. If you follow the guidelines in the obesity code you will lose that 12+ maybe a few more unwanted pounds but more importantly keep it off. Be sure and post back and let us know how are you doing.
You are amazing. Forgetting to turn on device was the best. I love your accent. I could listen to thar all day...well, I’m from south England and woke.
Yeah, I once wanted to try and get rid of the accent, but now I just embrace it :-). Hope you found the video useful. Starting tomorrow I am videoing my journey to learn to ride a unicycle. Will be a little different than my normal video but it’s something I always wanted to do
sir can you give me a downloadable link for the program? thanks in advance
You can download it here: goprotelemetryextractor.com/ Great software!
In the near future I will test the GPS accuracy going in and out of tree cover to see how the GoPro and Garmin devices are effected. The GPS remote for my Insta360 One X2 is on order so it will get thrown in the test as well. Feel free to suggest any tests you would like to see done.
