Is there a way to export G-Metrix data?

Is there any way to export, extract or otherwise access the G-Metrix data from a Virb XE, whether via Virb Edit or any other utility (other than embedding it visually in a video) for use in 3rd-party applications?

    When you export a video, a GPX file is created with some of the most important data. You can also right click on a clip in the media library > Properties > G-Metrix > Sources and Export the FIT or GPX files directly.

    Thank you for the quick reply. Following your instructions only some videos allowed me to export to gpx while others only allowed me to export to fit. The gpx file I was able to export does not contain the accelerometer or other data besides the lat, lon, ele and time elements. And I cannot read a fit file because it is binary. Are there other Garmin apps (or 3rd party utilities) that will allow me to read a fit file and export the other sensors' data to csv, xml, gpx, txt, json, or other text-based file format?

    There is an SDK to read FIT. https://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit/. However, a lot of the data in FIT is somewhat raw and needs post-processing.

    I assume you are using an Elite? The GPX file that you get from Elite does contain accelerometer data. I am not sure if the one when you export the video does, but if you just export the source file it should definitely contain it.

    I am using a Virb XE. I noticed while researching this question in Garmin's archived forums that the Virb Elite included the additional data in the gpx export. It would be nice if Virb X and XE also had it. Are there plans to include this capability? Do I have any alternatives to writing my own utility? Thanks.
