Empty GPX/TCX file from export

Former Member
Former Member
I have searched around at the forum but I cant find anyone with the same problem or any solution.

I have exported all my older workouts from connect (GPX) to import them to Strava.
Yesterday I messed up one of the earlier exported workouts on strava so I did delete it at Strava and wanted to export it again from connect.
But that specific workout gets messed up when i export it, both the GPX and TCX is kind of empty when i export this specific workout:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/321153384

ALL the content from the GPX:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gpx version="1.1" creator="Garmin Connect"
xsi:schemaLocation="www.topografix.com/.../1 www.topografix.com/.../gpx.xsd www.garmin.com/.../v3 www.garmin.com/.../GpxExtensionsv3.xsd www.garmin.com/.../v1 www.garmin.com/.../TrackPointExtensionv1.xsd"

As I said, I have exported this GPX earlier with sucess, but that file is deleted...
Could there be a database error or what could cause this? Is there any solution for this kind of problem?

    Im writing this down if anybody else should experiense the same problem.
    I have tried to export it some times after i wrote this topic, same result with a empty file.

    Today I was testing around with/without height corretion on another workout and it came to my mind that I could test and see what happends if i do that to this workout.
    After I changed the height correction settings from activated to disabled the export did give me a GPX with content :D

    I had exactly the same problem exporting files from an edge800, as the poster says, changing to disabled elevation correction fixed the problem.
