Thanks! It did import the file. However, I still don't understand what is wrong with the original file(s). On Suunto forums I was asked to ask on Garmin forums :)

k_lap

are you going to provide the previous suggested test files ?

my guess is going towards the developer data  (FIT 2.0 vs FIT 1.0) ?

fit file structure is nothing wrong, what I can see

I tried re-importing a file which worked before and it failed this time, so it looks like something has changed on the Garmin Connect side. I will try a few runs with/-out GPS and with HR data on and off, on the other hand I don't really understand how to enable/disable developer data.

does this mean anything to you ? SuuntoFitExport1

you did first delete the existing activity ?

No, it doesn't.

On re-importing: usually in such cases I had a 'duplicate' error, this time the same generic message: 'An error occurred with your upload. Please try again.' that I've been getting recently.

I did a swimming session today, no HR, no GPS. Still the same. I'm about to give up and stop exporting to GC. I won't be able to figure out where the error lies.

Anyway, thanks!

Is it normal that when you repair a fit file that none of the GPS data can be seen on the map?

I couldn't upload today's workout, due to a corrupt .fit file. Tried the http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ tool, but it returned a file that only contained ~2 mins of activity (it should be 47 min). Would really appreciate it if anyone can repair the file. Thanks!

hi, sorry to hear about your mishap with the forerunner 10

• the repair from kiesewetter is correct

you could scan your watch with a recovery tool

for PC

• Recuva
• Bitwar

for Mac

• Disk Drill
• Data Rescue 5
• Photorec
• Testdisk

run your recovered file through Fit File Tool's section remover

import this fit file manual from within Garmin Connect Web

when this fails

with your consent we can have a look at your file with FitFileRepairTool

zip the fit file and upload here in the forum

or provide a link to it on a cloud storage

or send via pm

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to scan the watch with Recuva, but it doesn't find any deleted files. I also ran chkdsk on the file system, but no errors were found. There is more than 1MB left of free space (just a few activities are stored), so I don't think that should be an issue. I have no idea how the .fit file got corrupted, but the workout is shown correctly on the watch when I access the "History "- "Runs" menu. Just hope it will not happen again.
