Hello,

Is there a way to import third party activity and having exercice load and training effect calculated by Garmin Connect ?

I use a bike computer from another brand and I import .fit file on GC but Exercice local and Training Effect are not calculated.

Many thanks

Antoine

    Yes, but only from certified virtual cycling services like for example Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, Concept2, and perhaps a few others. Not available for other hardware brands.

    You could also try uploading the concerned FIT into the folder //GARMIN/NewFiles/ on your Garmin device (I assume you own one) and then syncing the device, instead of importing the file directly to Garmin (it would not work for files that you already imported manually - you'd need to remove them first from GC). Not sure whether it really helps, but it is worth of trying. If not, then it may be also necessary to edit the FIT file and change the device ID to a Garmin device.
