RUBY: bulk-export run data from Garmin Connect

disconnect.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

## disconnect

#     ./disconnect.rb -u yourusername
#
# This is a command-line utility for the bulk-downloading of run data from
# the connect.garmin.com web application, which has lackluster export
# capabilities.
#
# Using this code is a matter of your own relationship with Garmin Connect
# and their TOS. I can't imagine this being very destructive to their service,
# and it's just filling in a hole in their existing service.
#
# It's built against Garmin Connect as of July 22, 2011. It's a scraper:
# thus if Garmin changes, this **will break**.
#
# This script requires all of the utilities on the line below: install them
# with rubygems

I wasted a lot of time trying to make something similar to this before I found this, so thanks! But I'm interested in using this to download trails in my area, not just download my own trails. There's a tool for exploring like this on garmin connect, but it only lets you view one at a time, and I want to download all of the results to view them simultaneously on google earth. How can I use this to download the activity numbers of activities based on a lat and long?

/proxy/activity-search-service-1.0/json/activities?_dc=1220170621856&start=%d

I think it has something to do with the number after the dc, but I couldn't figure it out by looking at the source code. Any help?
