Multisport File Editing

Former Member over 6 years ago

I've read through a few posts today and can't work out how to resolve this issue.....

Did a Duathlon today. Forerunner 735XT recorded all except......

It didn't connect to the power meter on the bike for the ride. I recorded the ride separately on the Edge 520 which has connected to the power meter and saved all the data.

I can't work out how to remove the bike leg as recorded by the watch, insert the leg recorded by the Edge 520, and then re-upload as a Multisport activity.

I tried fit file tools merger, but it just seems to add the Edge recording onto the end of the activity, then upload as a ride, and I can't change it to a Multisport activity.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Mike. My issue was I hadn't deleted the old one.

I still have the bike activity uploaded separately on my Garmin connect (which I'll now delete), which shows the average power 246W.... cant…

Former Member - Get yourself a free Dropbox account, upload the .fit files from both of your devices and then share the links, I can then merge them for you using the Fit File Repair Tool.

Cheers Mike. It looks good, although the first run leg appears to be missing from the file.

Interestingly too a couple of the bike stats have changed slightly from the original garmin activity recorded on the edge. Average power is up 7 watts, and the its dropped the edge elevation readings and come up with its own. Not that it matters.

Former Member - I've rechecked the file and it's showing the 1st run. Ensure you delete any previously uploaded versions to GC first and then upload the fixed file.
Have also checked the ride file you uploaded and it's showing a power avg of 252W...

cheers

I still have the bike activity uploaded separately on my Garmin connect (which I'll now delete), which shows the average power 246W.... cant explain that but no biggie.

Thanks for fixing that for me, much appreciated. Have contacted garmin regarding a fix to the watch not connecting to the power meter during the duathlon... waiting to hear back.

Cheers,

Hi Mike,

Can I be a nuisance and get another couple of files fixed? I've had the issue again, although this time I managed to get my watch to connect, but it was during the bike leg, so it's missed some of the power.

The 2 Cairns files (there's no power at all on the bike leg). The Cairns bike file is an Edge 520 file that I'd like to replace the watch recorded file.

The second Nice one, I'd like the Nice Bike file (recorded on Edge 520) to replace the whole bike segment recorded on the watch in the multisport file.
