Importing a .GPX only shows the first part of the route

Hi All,

I just downloaded a .gpx file, and tried to add this one to my Garmin connect. 

.gpx file opened in any random gpx-viewer: 

.gpx file opened in Garmin Connect:

Can someone explain me why this is happening?

    Did you get an answer to this? I'm having the same issue.

    I was using a multi-day trip using CalTopo and I figured out that on CalTopo I could download each segment as a separate GPX file so that worked.

    For what it's worth, I found two (2) different answers:

    1.  You can open the file in Text Edit and remove all but the first <trkseg> and all but the last </trkseg>. I tried this and I actually got an error when I tried to load it into Garmin Connect.

    2.  I also read somewhere that Garmin Connect won't support multi-segment files, but that was a just based on a very quick scan.

    Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

    I'm not sure of what is or isn't supported by Garmin Connect, but indeed in the past I managed to overcome that issue by editing a GPX file in a text editor and manually removing segmentation from the file.
