File conversion

Hello,

I exported an activity from Garmin Connect and converted the .fit file to a .csv file. Without doing any editing I ran the conversion program with the -c argument to convert the .csv file back to a .fit file. I keep getting the following error when I run the conversion.

FIT CSV Tool - Protocol 2.0 Profile 21.40 Release

CSVReader.read(): Error on line 6 - Unknown message "unknown".

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: FIT encoding error.

at com.garmin.fit.csv.CSVTool.run(CSVTool.java:258)

at com.garmin.fit.csv.CSVTool.main(CSVTool.java:332)

Can you please tell me what is erroring out. Thank your/

John

Thanks but this is with the FitCSVTool.jar program. I am trying to find out why it is erroring on converting a csv file back to .fit when no changes occurred. This is happening on every .fit file that I export from either Garmin Connect and Strava.

Gotcha. I see you posted there also, so probably wouldn't hurt.

When converting the file from FIT to CSV use the -u option, which will ignore the unknown fields in the file and the file should have a better chance of being converted back to FIT. The -u and other command line options for FITCSVTool can be found here.
