Multiple entry while sync with myfitnesspal

Former Member over 10 years ago

I connected my connect account to myfitnesspal.
If I entry a swim activities in connect, 64 new activities will be created by myfitnesspal with the same duration, same calories burn but with a distance reduced by a factor 1000.
The problem of course propagates to other linked account like endomondo.
At the moment the only solution that I found is to remove the link between the account. Any suggestion?
Thank in advance

i too have a similar problem Garmin. An activity in GConnect will get sync'd to MFP. MFP then dumbs down the data (removing gps and rounds time up to nearest min) and then the dumbed down data gets sync'd back to GC. This then causes knock on problems as this duplicate can then get sync'd to all of my other accounts (strava etc) as i use Tapiiriik.

I have asked MFP how to stop this and their response was as follows:

Hello Andy,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us, we apologize for any confusion but we would actually suggest reaching out to Garmin directly to see if they can look into this issue for you.

The way our API works, the partner program is responsible for sending and pulling us any data created within their program.

If can not resolve the syncing issue for you, please contact us directly - http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/emails/new

All the best,
Michael
MyFitnessPal Staff

so was wondering if Garmin could help

TIA

I also have the same issue. Every time I go for a run, the exercise shows up twice on MFP. Very annoying.
