no power data

I am using a FLY12 video with the Garmin Virb software
however i cannot get power data to display.
Everything else is displaying and cadence is showing fine which is why im trying to figure out why power wont show because it works off the power meter

I am using the GPX file from strava

What am i missing?

Did you end up solving this mate? I have the same problem

I had the same problem with a Polar V650.
I don't know why, but Virb doesn't get power data from gpx or tcx, only from fit files. I try to convert this files to fit, but nothing works.

When I changed my Polar and bought a Garmin 530, everything works fine

I think it is understandable, that Garmin supports Garmin products at the first place!

It´s cool enough that you can import gpx files from any device and Virb Edit deals with it. And also the video footage can be from different manufacturers as well.

I think your GPX file contains no power data OR the name of the datafield is different. Open the GPX file in notepad and you can see if the power data is there. GPX is normal txt file.

I have the payed version of strava and the gpx export shows my power:

NOTE You have to have a power meter, the estimated power of strava is fictional and not useful.

Reviewed my GPX file and confirmed it contents the line "<power>17</power>" like you too.

However, it doesn't show power / watt data when I import to Garmin Virb Edit.

Anyone can helps? Many thanks!

Were you using Mac OS VIRB Edit? My GPX file with power data was parsed correctly but the power would not be shown as available under Mac OS. However, VIRB Edit for Windows 10 loaded the same file and made the power data available. I used <gpxpx:PowerInWatts>85</gpxpx:PowerInWatts> where gpxpx is the namespace I used in the file.

Try the FIT file from the Export Original menu.

Try..

Using Regedit editor:
1. Open Registry Editor or
Win + R shortcut then type regedit
2. Locate the following folder: HKEY LOCAL
MACHINEISOFTWAREWicr osoftinternet
Explorer \Main\Feature
Contro/FEATURE
BROWSER EMULATION
3. Create a new entry (Dword 32 bits) with the name VirbEdit.exe
4. Change de value of the new entry to 00002ee 1 (double click on the new entry make sure
Hexadecimal is selected)

It works...

I used 'Export Original' in strava which creates a fit file. Then imported into garmin connect and the power shows up. When I just did Export GPX in strava the power data did not show.
