I would like to export my activity from my edge 800 as a tcx file that a friend can then use to follow my course. I tried loading it in Garmin Connect and using the export button from the detail view of the activity and it generates a large tcx file. But when I try to load that in my own garmin it doesn't work. I put it in the new files folder and it disappears when I restart the edge 800 but doesn't show up as a link. I can use the send it to device button and that works but I want a file that someone can load in their iPhone app etc.
It looks like the exported course shows up as an xml file that I imagine the Edge is converting to a fit file in the courses folder but it doesn't seem to get to the courses folder.
I can create a tcx file on RideWithGPS or something and load it into the Edge with no issues.
I can import the file into map my ride from the edge and probably use that but there must be a way to do this with Garmin Connect.
