Yet Another Corrupt .FIT file from Edge 520

Former Member over 4 years ago

Last Wednesday I rode about 70 km with my wife to Lands End, the most westerly point in the UK.

The activity did not sync from my Garmin Edge 520 to my iPhone. Now I am back home I have the .FIT file on my computer but it is not recognised by Garmin Connect. Please, could anyone take a quick look at the attached Zip file and see if they can fix it?

Thanks

Mike

Try this - mandmturner-fixed.zip

Fixed using the section remover tool from fitfiletools. If this happens frequently, suggest looking at your \Garmin\Activiy folder on your device and verify all is synced, then backup up and remove the contents. Seems to occur more frequently on devices that are nearing capacity or possibly containing corrupt fit files.

Removing Recorded Activities to Free Up Space on a Garmin Fitness Device

Thanks Seilogramp. That has fixed the file

I had recently emptied all pre-September files from the Activities folder, so seems unlikely to be this. But, I'll check again as I have recently been uploading a number of courses to follow. Maybe these have filled up my device?

Happy to have my own trace back and not rely on my wife's slower ride!

That'll do it to. Personally, I only load the courses I'm going to do soon. Otherwise just store them on Garmin Connect.
