'Undefined error' Importing a tcf file to garmin connect (from ridewithgps)

Former Member over 9 years ago

When trying to do a manually import I am unable to upload any tcf file to Garmin connect. I was always receive an undefined error.

If I attached the 920xt to the computer and add the tcf file to NEWFILES - When I disconnect the watch and go to courses I can not locate the course

I've been told I need to create a tcf file because I want to create turn by turn navigation on 920xt

What I am doing wrong?

thank you for any help

Import successful

I had exactly the same problem.
After many many hours of investigation I successfully imported gpx files from ridewithgps now.
I replaced the first 2 lines of the gpx files with the ones from a gpx file thatI imported long time ago:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gpx xmlns="www.topografix.com/.../1" xmlns:gpsies="www.gpsies.com/.../0" creator="GPSies http://www.gpsies.com - 2015_01_Tarrega" version="1.1" xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="www.topografix.com/.../1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd http://www.gpsies.com/GPX/1/0 www.gpsies.com/gpsies.xsd">

Adittionally Connects seems to need time info for each trackpoint. E.g.:
<trkpt lat="39.413120000" lon="-7.621270000">
<ele>330.600000</ele>
<time>2000-01-01T00:00:00Z</time>
The easiest way to modify a file without time infos is to use gpsbabel:
gpsbabel.exe -t -i gpx -f old.gpx -x track,faketime=20000101000000+10 -o gpx -F new.gpx

Now the import should work. You should click 'show details' and save the imported file as a course!

I ran into another problem of connect - it told me that i already had imported the file - another bug. Old imports seem to remain somewhere and block new imports - therefore I had to delete the old import...
