tcx files export

I have trouble exporting tcx files into Garmin Connect activities

I am able to export gpx files from both Runtastic and Polar but not tcx file from those websites. I initially thought that runtastic's export function is defective, but now discovered that polar finally enable export feature, and for both websites' tcx file are not recognized. Previously, at least with Runtastic, the name of the activity was off and Garmin was not able to export because of that. Changing the acitvity name to Garmin Talk enabled some partial import. It was interesting that HR was not completely exported and I had huge gaps in data. But now,even changing name does not help.
Any ideas?
  • There is probably another issue with the .tcx file you are trying to import. You should be able to export a tcx file from Garmin Connect and one each from Runtastic and Polar. Open each of them up in a text editor and note the differences. Change one thing in a problem file, and then try to upload. If it fails, then repeat. Eventually you'll have a file that will upload and you'll know what needs to be changed.
