Alternative to Garmin's Software

I've noticed many people have Garmin cycling computers.  I have the Edge 305 with GPS, HR and Cadence.  Great computer.  However, I was a bit disappointed with some of the software features that come in the "Garmin Training Center" software.

I'm not sure what category to put this under.  At this time it doesn't seem to fit any.  However, I don't want that to stop me from sharing a good tool that some of you may have a use for.

In looking for solutions on the web, I came across a free (donation-ware) product that takes ride analysis a bit further than the standard Garmin software.
 
Of particular note:  There is a power module for this softwaer.  I'm sure it's not as accurate as the high end Power / Wattage solutions...but hey, this software is free and might give you some information you were looking for without dropping another $1000 on a power meter. 
 
Check out SportTracks, I've been using it in conjunction with "Garmin Training Center."  Between the two, I get what I want for analysis.

If I can help answer any questions, I'll be glad to help you out.
