Manual Upload in GarminConnect

I am getting error messages while i am trying to upload the .gpx or .tcx files Manually.

Error messages are "An error occurred with your upload. Please try again." or "Some activities could not be created."

Can you please advise what to do? Is there another file extension which needs to be used while uploading.

Thanks
  • Garmin Connect only accepts tcx files. It is likely there is something wrong with the file. If you attach the file to a reply to this thread, someone may be able to take a look and fix it.

    Problem uploading to Garmin Connect

    I am getting the "An error occurred with your upload. Please try again" message as well when I try to upload my .tcx file from Training Center. I would try to attach it, but it is 129MB, which is way bigger then the ~9MB max size allowed. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I have exported to a TCX file from GC. Deleted a LAP with Microsoft XML Notepad. Saved the file.
    When I try to upload it I get an error?

    Any ideas why upload results in error?

    GC really needs to be more specific on why it think there is a problem, but also deletion of laps/splits would be useful so you don't have to workaround like this.

    Thanks :)

    They must have changed this, since they turned off uploads on MotionBased. I successfully uploaded a gpx file to connect.garmin.com today using the Manual Upload method.

    None of my .TCX files want to upload, and I have no clue why. It's driving me crazy! I have uploaded it successfully to mapmyrun and into SportTracks, but GC doesn't want to seem to work-- gives me the "An error occurred with your upload. Please try again."

    GC can be very finicky about tcx files and reject them for minor errors, while other programs import them no problem. At this point, you have two choices: 1) look at the tcx file to see if there is an obvious error that you can fix; 2) use mapmyrun or Sporttracks to export a tcx file and upload that file into GC.

    The name of your device is missing in the <Name>-tag.
    I put TestGarmin as device name and could upload your file without problem in Garmin Connect.

    Extract from your file - you can find these lines almost at the end:

    <Creator xsi:type="Device_t">
    <Name>TestGarmin</Name>
    <UnitId>3500460476</UnitId>
    <ProductID>717</ProductID>
    <Version>
    <VersionMajor>2</VersionMajor>
    <VersionMinor>10</VersionMinor>
    <BuildMajor>0</BuildMajor>
    <BuildMinor>0</BuildMinor>
    </Version>
    </Creator>

    I am unable to upload a GPX file too (although help page promotes GPX so that means this should be supported). I am getting "Some activities could not be created." No activities are created. Using Czech language version of Connect.
