Map shows wrong track for activity!

Former Member

Hello

I recently figured out that for some of my past activities wrong tracks are shown in the map!

For example:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/296489774

Overall distance: 51,59km
The track shows a wrong track with 18km and switched start and endpoint.
It seems that a previous activity from the same day is shown in the map, and used for exporting the data.
When exporting the activity i figured out the following:

<Activity Sport="Biking">
<Id>2013-04-11T15:10:08.000Z</Id>
<Lap StartTime="2013-04-11T15:10:08.000Z">
<TotalTimeSeconds>7981.0</TotalTimeSeconds>
<DistanceMeters>51586.86</DistanceMeters>

<Track>
<Trackpoint>
<Time>2013-04-11T05:15:08.000Z</Time>
<Position>


This data is corrupted! Since the first Trackpoint ist the first of the activity and the times do not fit!

When I export the previous track from the same day and make a diff between both files i get the following result:
diff activity_296489758.tcx activity_296489774.tcx
11,15c11,15

That looks really strange, since all the gps data (waypoints) are the same!

Question 1: Has anybody else the same problem seen?
Question 2: Is all my data for this corrupt tracks are gone?

    I have the same problem. It looks like everything before February January 31, 2014 is corrupted. Sad, sad situation. Several YEARS of my data gone!
  • Same problem for my activities before 2012. When GC gets an update, the older activity maps are of a wrong location or missing. It is an impossible job to recreate several years of data. I just try to keep a backup in SportTracks. It is really a bad approach from Garmin.
  • I also have the same issue with my activities from 2013 and prior. The tracks do not match the activity.
    -----
    All hiking, and snowshoeing activities now share the same single track.
    All mountain and road biking routes show the same single track.
    All back country skiing routes show the same single track.
    All resort skiing routes show the same single track.
    All cross country skiing routes show the same singe track.
    -----
    The summary and details appear to be correct for the activity. The tracks are incorrect and charts based off of them are incorrect.
    -----
    I changed the activity type and event type to see if it would fix the track but that did not help. I would be interested to see if Garmin is making any attempt to fix this or if I have to upload all of my activities again, and relabel, and select the correct activity type, etc. Or, should I spend the same amount of time looking for a GC alternative? One with a more reliable reputation.

    I have the same problem with older activity with no track showing on map and no track in the export.

    Could garmin please look into this issue.

    This is export from such an activity.

  • I have the same problem... All maps of my track default to some location in Kansas City.. No backward compatibility to my years of tracks. I can download the GPX track and see it in base camp so the data is there but the linkage tot he displayed map is broken. Garmin, what are you doing to satisfy your customers that have been with you for many years?
    Sincerely,
    Disappointed
