Reprocessing Garmin 705 data for more accurate Calories

HI.
I understand from http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/11/how- ... armin.html that the Garmin 705 "always" uses a simple speed/distance calculation for calories burnt, which is a shame, despite having HRm and cadence data.
For personal reasons, I want to reprocess all of the 705 recorded data to use the HRM data & cadence sensor with the speed to calculate a more accurate calorie count.
Ideally, I'd use the 2nd Gen Firstbeat Algorithm, mentioned on the site, but I'd have to buy a liscence to it.
Has anyone got any experience of doing this, or know of better than "speed/distance" calorie algorithms that are free to use?
Cheers!
