But I have never tried to use a downloaded file that I did not make.ĭear mods, I was not sure if touring or know how was the best place to ask this so please move as you see best. I need a way to convert TCX to a fit file so I wont lose my power data when going from TCX to GPX. I have succesfully drawn routes on Garmin Connect and uploaded them to my device and followed them. I will probably write a gpx to tcx converter, so that you can use OpenStreetMaps, Google Maps, Komoot or whatever. A gpx is file is not enough for the method explained in the article. With just this file will I get turn navigation between these waypoints? I am assuming I will and if that is the case I am not sure how anyother format would be better. It is explained in the blog post under Export a Route from Strava as a tcx-File. It does contain some 400 plus waypoints when I import it into garmin basecamp. I am unsure if this is a GPX route or track. have tried to research this and found that TCX file type is best then GPX tracks. But, you say I can convert FIT files to TCX using Garmin. You can also convert FIT files to TCX from a couple of websites and from Garmin Connect too. I convert FIT to GPX that way and create summaries and statistics from FIT files. I have found a GPX map of the trail but am unsure if this preserves turn guidance when imported into my garmin. With the freely downloadable FIT SDK you can process FIT files using Java and C. I would like turn guidance when we ride the Trans Penine Trail. I am getting really confused (not difficult) with different file types for use with my garmin 800.
