Only G overlay is populated, speed elevation etc is empty

I spent an hour trying to figure it out but found nothing. I was going to blame my virb elite's gps but looking at the map that you see when you try to import gpx data it is just perfect. For some reason all the data except the G data is empty. Any idea on what I might be missing? I can see the fit files are in the database, I even tried manually importing the fit files but still the same result.

    Try this out:

    1. Does the gpx file actually have the data in it? Try this out to find out:
    Add the clip to a Video Project, click on the G-Metrix button on the clip in the timeline, the G-Metrix tab will load. Do you see only G-Force or do you see other G-Metrix listed, for example, Elevation, Recorded Speed, etc..

    If you see other data try out #2

    2. Is your gpx file misaligned? Try this out to find out:
    Add the clip to a Video Project, click on the G-Metrix button on the clip in the timeline, the G-Metrix tab will load. Click on the G-Metrix Sync button. Adjust the two sliders and see if you can get your data to show.

    *Edit*
    Actually, you may not be able to try out #2 due to this:

    #1 doesn't give anything besides G-Force. Map shows position correct so there is definitely gps data. Latest version is broken?

    It seems strange that you get position data on the map when all you have is G-Force.

    Can you attach the G-Metrix files in question?

    To get the file(s) attached to your clip, right click on a clip, Properties > G-Metrix and 'export' everything under Source.

    For Elite, you should have 2 sources, one GPX file and one FIT file.
