gimporter/gexporter - import FIT/GPX courses from your Android phone

Backslashhh
over 7 years ago

This is the support thread of "gimporter" and the android companion app "gexporter".

Imagine you are on the go and want to upload a course to your Garmin device to follow the track. As of now, this involves uploading the gpx file to the Garmin web site, somehow create a course from it and then select "Export to device" in the mobile app.

Here comes gimporter. Download your FIT and GPX courses with the "gimporter" ConnectIQ app from the "Download" folder of your Android device.

Notes:

  • Keep the Android app open, while downloading!
  • Oregon and Rino devices download the unmodified GPX track. No point reduction or speed recalculation is done yet
  • On some devices (like the Edge 1030) you have to disable WiFi while using the app




ConnectIQ App: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/de11adc4-fdbb-40b5-86ac-7f93b47ea5bb

    Hi I've just updated to V5 on my E1000. The courses certainly load quicker. Good work. The course point limit on the E1000 appears to be somewhere in the region of 35922

    I don't know if it was intentional, but course names are now truncated to 15 Characters, where the E1000 can have considerably more, 49 in fact. Although the number of characters displayed varies depending on the screen being viewed.

    20 on the course list screen
    29 on the selected course menu screen
    26 on the selected course settings screen
    49 on the course name editor


    Good point.. but the official Fit spec says 15 chars, IIRC

    5.1 app android:

    1. Huawei p8 lite - 6.0 android - is acting OK
    2. Lenovo F5500 - 4.4.2 android - isn't starting (stopped application)
    The version 3.0 worked, 5.0 - I don't know, I didn't test.

    PS.
    Widget will follow in a couple of hours. Stay tuned.

    I am and... I am waiting :) :) :)

    Uploaded new versions.

    You can now share tracks with gexporter on the phone :)

    Widget will follow in a couple of hours. Stay tuned.


    Have updated but can't see any sharing option, how would that work? Also GCM is not finding the widget, at least for my FR935.

    The speed/pace converter is great but could the pace be displayed in sexagesimal format? Thanks!

    Sharing from other application to gexporter should work. Like selecting a .gpx track in the file browser and "share". Then select gexporter.

    Ah, oh.. right..

    Ah ok, got it and it works fine, well done! Thanks for looking into the sexagesimal format too.
