Recovery of missing data from files on the Garmin Edge 705 history

Former Member

The relevant history tcx file on my Garmin Edge 705 is shown as having only 5kb of data instead of the expected size in excess of 1Mb.

I can see that the data relating to my ride appears to be held in various files named data.dat, lap01.dat, lap02.dat, lap03.dat, lap04.dat etc located in ..\Garmin\History\Laps\20\

How can I recover the relevant data and upload it to Garmin Express or Strava?

Thank you

In case it is relevant, I explain how the problem arose. When I was uploading the data to Garmin Express the syncing did not complete. When I tried again there was a message on my laptop from Windows that there was a problem with the device and Windows offered to fix the problem. I accepted the 'fix' and the relevant Garmin file then appeared to sync. Unfortunately the synced file shows only a few hundred metres of my ride instead of the 9 hours of gruelling effort.

I thank you in anticipation of your help.
