Manual upload of activity with .gpx fails

Former Member over 14 years ago

I have a Garmin GPS 60csx. I have download several tracks already to .gpx and uploaded them to Garmin Connect with no problems. I do have an issues exporting the .gpx from Mapsource(which appears to be a known issue but only for a few people...) so I use Bascamp.

I get the following error when I try to upload a single track that displays ok in Basecamp, Google Earth and GPSMapEdit.
"Some activities could not be created." With no activity uploaded.

I have tried several times with the track and it fails. I have inspected it point by point in Mapsource and it seems to be ok.

I am attaching the .gpx file in case anyone wants to check it for me.

I also tried converting to ver 1.1 using GPSBabel and that also did not upload.

No timestamps may be the problem

There are no timestamps on the trackpoints. Maybe Garmin Connect is fussy about that.
I wonder how you created the file - GPS devices usually provide a timestamp on each trackpoint.

The first one was created by Mapsource and the one with babel in the name was a conversion from GPSBabel.

So Mapsource should have done it right correct?

Were there timestamps in the Mapsource file?

I always have a problem with that word "should" - either it did or it didn't!
You'll have to determine if the file you got from MapSource and then input to GpsBabel had timestamps.
