I hadn't synced in a while so I have 14 files in Garmin Express are giving me the error "Some of these filed could not be uploaded to Garmin Connect".

Is there any way to save these files?

    hi Rob,

    Attach the files in a reply to this message and I will run them thru the Fit File Repair Tool to check for any issues.

    cheers

    Hi Rob,

    Just some notes I made as I was looking at your files -

    unless you really need to conserve space then change to 1 second recording as all files are averaging around 15secs between data records.
    ensure you have a GPS fix before moving off.

    863K3957 - no data between 10min35sec and 16min38sec, spracotic GPS data, not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    863J4614 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    863J0823 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    863D3439 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    86394414 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    862K0150 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    862H2404 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    862D1128 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    862B2510 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    85ID2836 - very small file, not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    85GD5324 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    85GA3438 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    85ED4614 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.
    85E94513 - not a lot of moving time compared to elapsed time.

    This folder contains the files which should now hopefully upload to GC.

    cheers

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks a lot for that, i'll do that once i get home. I had the data recording setting set to 'smart', is smart better for battery life because i do some long walks.

    Thanks again,

    Rob
