Garmin 500 day and date input... Where?

As it says above guys... Where the f*ck do you input that?
I just downloaded my first file which came out with a 1901 date... Try finding that in WKO+ :shock:

Doesn't the time and date come via GPS?

Yes, the date comes form the GPS there it is how GPS works (each satellite transmits the exact time and because of the differences in the time the receiver sees it can work out the position)

Your problem is in the TCX importer of WKO. You exported a TCX from Garmin Training Center I guess? It can't parse a date with milliseconds in it.

Import the FIT files directly.

If you no longer have a fit file you can edit the TCX to make it parseable - a text editor just search and replace the .000 away.

How do you import the .fit file directly, Jim?

Yup - my Garmin, if it can't find satellites quickly enough (ie I'm too impatient), just says "Ah, sod it" and uses the date it last had a good "lock"

You need the latest Device Agent I believe - you can get it from training peaks site.

Brilliant... That worked.
