FIT files examples

Former Member over 4 years ago

Is there a database where one can find FIT files to be used to test for applications on ConnectIQ simulator?

I am looking for one to test a code I found online with the simulator with GPS access but to no avail. Sorry, am new to this.

I'm interested as well. I can't for the life of me make my FIT files (generated by official Garmin apps on my watch) actually work in the simulator...

What SDK are you using? There was an issue with 4.1.0-beta1 but playing back a fit file works fine for me on others.

I've tried multiple SDKs, currently using SDK 4.1.1. I select the fit file and then nothing happens. Clicking the playback button doesn't do anything. So I just simulate data. I get the feeling I should be creating my own fit files, but I haven't had the time to look into how to do so.

I use fit files I created myself as well as some I got from others over the years. When playing back a fit you should see something like this on 4.1.1 If you close this window, playback stops.

Creating your own fit file is just a matter of using a standard activity, stopping and saving it, and the connecting your devices to a pc/mac and pulling it out of the activity folder. Using 1 second recording works better in the sim than using smart recording.

Ok, I have seen a couple cases where playback may stop after a few minutes on 4.1.1, but I've not seen it with the 4.0.10 SDK
