Convert fit files to tcx

This device can record your running power - even though that isn't really a native Garmin field. An Example of this is the Stryd Power meter for running. This means that you will get 'Record Data' as well as 'Developer Data.' Developer Data consists of special fields that can be added into a FIT file - for example using a ConnectIQ app. The first step is for me to read ALL of the data in the FIT file. That is because the Serial Number is a one-time item. For example, your speed is 'Record Data,' but your GPS Serial Number is not. in other words, measurements that are recorded along with timestamps. 'Record Data' contains all the 'stream' information. This tool ONLY puts 'Record Data' into the CSV.

The maximum number of fields in the FIT format is only 256, but there are still a lot of empty fields left. After they modify their CSV file, they can upload it back to my tool and convert the CSV into a FIT file.Īt this time, this tool can only read the existing fields that Garmin puts into FIT files. The idea is to allow the user to download a CSV file from a FIT file so they can modify the CSV file in a spreadsheet program such as Excel, Open Office or Google Sheets.

This tool is the first step in my long-term plan.
