export of .fit or .tcx files to Garmin Connect

Is it possible to properly consign workouts from log.concept2.com to Garmin Connect via either a fit or tcx file? I go errors for fit files in GC (An error occurred with your upload. Delight attempt again.), and equally to the tcx files - they show but first interval in the summary and splits data. The files are imported by GC just in case at that place are no intervals in the recorded workouts.

I've been getting my sessions to GC via Strava for a while, but the consign from Strava to GC via tapiriik.com has stopped working for me either since late December, and then I'm seeking other possible solutions.

Thank you

We take a similar issue exporting to inport into "Golden Cheetah" we cycle as well.. My lady did 20 Km terminal week only stopped to reply the door during here session. When we export / import merely the first section is logged although her online logbook does state 20 Km. Tried importing into Strava and exactly the same effect. Single contiuous rows are imported fine.....

Thanks, did you manage to import a fit file or a tcx?

Fit files are all discarded in my example, and tcx versions have something wrong about splits breakdown in them. The platforms that ignore splits (Strava, Preparation Peaks) import them fine, but Garmin Connect shows simply the first carve up (ofttimes erroneously every bit well) both in the summary data and in the splits section.

I spent some fourth dimension on the phone with a Garmin support representative yesterday, they say fit files are corrupt, and they need to farther investigate bug with tcx. Concept2 support people have been unresponsive and so far, hope they react to my message. Looks similar at that place is non much involvement in this feature.

.FIT file importing on the Garmin website doesn't work, even importing .FIT files from their watches don't work for me. But I can download .TCX files (generated from ErgData) from Concept2 online log and import them to the Garmin website and information technology does retain all data, including splits and fifty-fifty resting periods.

The near contempo ErgData 1.59 update at the end of 2017 fixed the incorrect timezone problem, then I've been importing all my Concept2 workouts into Garmin.

Thanks, I will try the Android version, hope this solves the outcome. I'thou using Ipad to log workouts, the ErgData version is ane.three.v(two). Thought the export to TCX or FIT is independent from the ErgData version used.

I tried Android ErgData and TCX export-import yesterday and today, it's a hitting and miss actually. My test 1, several different short intervals, recorded well, all data present in Garmin Connect. My yesterday routine 2x15'UT1 appeared to be xiii min shorter than the total fourth dimension in the summary, and the splits data totally missed the first 15 min interval. My today 3x12'UT1 shows 8 min warm upwardly only in Garmin Connect, no interval data nowadays either in the summary or splits section.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I utilise ErgData on Android. Just hmm, I'll give it another go and see, I but started using ErgData -> Concept 2 online log -> GC recently so I haven't done much testing beyond "Just Row". Just I noticed that one of the release notes for ErgData Android is "Fixed issue which prevented the logging of interval data unless a centre charge per unit sensor is used". Are you using a HRM?

Yes, I'm using HRM. I remember the release note yous quoted is related to the logbook rather than the capability to export information. Never had whatsoever problems with logging interval information in the logbook itself previously though.

My take on the current status of C2 logbook ==> Garmin Connect export is as follows yet:
- TCX export is not reliable, some interval data is lost and not shown in GC unpredictably, some data is excluded from the summary and from splits breakup of the workout page in a totally random fashion. Probably, there is an consequence with the import of laps breakdown from the file.
- FIT files have some errors that atomic number 82 to GC rejecting them with an error message. These errors could be corrected every bit I was demonstrated on Garmin forums - my FIT file was repaired by the Fit File Repair Tool. The resulting import into GC was a success, with total data present including strokes (no strokes are nowadays in any TCX import), merely excluding intervals (laps). Information technology'south quite possible that the repair of the FIT washed by FFRP ended upwards in the removal of the interval data from the file.
- I'm yet to find a service that imports TCX or FIT and exports to Garmin equally a workaround. Strava and Training Peaks import the files (also, there is a direct online export from Logbook to both of them), merely there is no connection from these platforms to GC, just from GC to them. Tapiriik.com has stopped exporting from Strava to Garmin Connect altogether since belatedly December in my case, it shows all workouts as exported but zilch appears in GC. Historically I was able to export TCX to Strava and then transfer my workouts to GC via Tapiriik. Well-nigh likely there was some change implemented on GC since I tried simultaneous Strava to TP export via Tapiriik, and it worked.

By way of an update, in case someone needs this functionality:

(one) C2 Logbook has started producing FIT files that could be imported in Garmin Connect (or, alternatively, GC has corrected something in their import algorithm). The imported workouts contain all data and some additional unnecessary fields such as temperature (gear up at 0 Celsius), elevation (constant at minus 500 m), and GPS (basis zero location). These could be removed using online fitfiletools field stripper. There'due south no divide section / intervals data in the imports. Both FIT files created by ErgData IOS and Android are imported this fashion now, historical workouts as well.

(ii) I seem to have located the result with TCX files output by the Logbook. The exported files include randomly introduced "dummy" lap data strings (or at to the lowest degree I remember they are redundant - I'm not a developer) that await like this:
<Lap StartTime="2018-01-17T18:51:00Z ">
<TotalTimeSeconds>0</TotalTimeSeconds>
<DistanceMeters>two</DistanceMeters>
<MaximumSpeed>0</MaximumSpeed>
<Calories></Calories>
<Intensity>Resting</Intensity>
<TriggerMethod>Manual</TriggerMethod>
<Track>
</Track>
</Lap>
Deleting these blocks in a text editor repairs the file, it'south imported past Garmin Connect in full, shows all info y'all would expect except the number of strokes, and fifty-fifty provides complete details on the intervals in the divide section. Hope C2 right their export mechanics shortly, I don't retrieve information technology's hard to practise.

Unfortunately, the .FIT import lacks timezone information. C2 fixed timezone in .TCX files in a previous update, then I'grand guessing it'southward a C2 thing... :|
