GPX imports incomplete

Most GPX files, created from varying sources, always show up incomplete when importing to Garmin connect.

For example, I just tried to import a 100km course and Garmin connect only shows the first 8km when imported.

Komoot or even trailforks don't have this problem so I use these atm but they're less convenient than the official garmin software.

Has anybody experienced this problem as well or know a solution?

I have the same problem. I'm looking at some multi-day bike tours which are available as .gpx files, but when importing into Connect, I'm only seeing the first stage.

If you use the Import Data page from the top menu, instead of importing it on the Courses page, then it is the reason. The Import Data page, as written on it, serves for importing Activities and body data only. Courses need to be imported on the Courses page.

Importing on Courses gives me only the first stage. Importing on "Import Data" just gives me an error.

Yes, sorry, I did not really read the entire post before replying. Garmin Connect does not support multi day courses. You either need to import each day separately, or create a GPX course in a single piece.

Thanks. What a pain! What's weird is that the multi-stage GPX works fine in other course/route apps, and if I then save from them and import to Connect, they show up fine. Anyway. Garmin.
