In order to transfer several years worth of activities posted in my Garmin Connect account to my Strava account, the directions indicate the first step is to export the activities as TCX files. After selecting an activitiy, the only option appears to be exporting via a CSV file. All postings that I have read in this forum or elsewhere imply there is/was a gear icon with more options, but that does not appear for me. Does Garmin still support Export to TCX? If so, how do I access this format? If not, is there an third party product or another workflow that can export existing activities on my Garmin Connect account to my Strava account. I've tried Tapirik without success (and have seen postings suggesting it no longer solves my problem).
What problem have you had with Tapiriik? I've used it in the past without any problems? There is a link somewhere in the forum to where you can download all your data as Garmin now has to conform to recently published legislation.
The reviews on Tapirik are quite good until the end of 2017 when several people report it no longer works. I recently provided the Tapirik website with my Garmin Connect login credentials and then connected to my Strava account. At that point, the queuing icon began to spin without any consequences, i.e. no data populated my Strava online account and the spinning continued without end.
I used the datamanagement link that you provided to make a request for my data to be exported. Hopefully it will be made available to me in TCX format that can then be imported into my Strava account.
I received an email entitled "Your Gamin Data" with a link to a zip file. It contains 351 fit files that are hopefully the data that I am looking for. Is there a way to mass convert these fit files to tcx format so that they can then be imported into Strava? Garmin forums typically say this is unnecessary since Garmin also exports data in tcx format. However, as I first mentioned, I can not find access to this Garmin Connect feature.
All postings that I have read in this forum or elsewhere imply there is/was a gear icon with more options, but that does not appear for me.
The gear icon appears in the upper right corner when you click the activity, thus entering the activity display. After that, you can export your activity to several formats, including TCX, but please note, that some activity types - like for example multisport activities - cannot be exported to anything other than fit format.
I created a new account in Strava and set up Tapiriik to synch from Garmin to Strava. It's taken a while to get going, but the synch is now in progress. Guess that means you just need some patience.
Make sure you have the settings for the transfer correct. Hover over 'Connect' then click on 'Reconfigure' and check the settings are what you want. I have both boxes checked in Garmin, and neither checked in Strava.
i tried to export to .csv file, however, the time for less than hr is exported wrongly. for example, if the time is 56:21 in the garmin connect, when it is exported, it becomes, 56:21:00 . pls check. thanks.

This is a problem of Excel, that interprets the times in a "smart" way, changing the format to what it guesses is the best way, which, of course, is rarely what you really need. Use OpenOffice Calc or LibreOffice, instead and it will be fine.
