FIT file too big (40Mb) for my activity : How can I add it in my Garmin Connect ?

Good morning,

I currently use a Garmin FENIX 7X Sapphire.

I do the ultra-trail.
And so my outings can last between 10 hours and 145 hours.

1/
I noticed that the Garmin Connect APP limits the size of activity files to 25Mb.
Which corresponds to approximately 50 hours active (in light mode (without activating too many parameters))

I finished the TOR DES GEANTS 370km in Courmayeur in 143 hours and the file on my watch is 40Mb.
I don't know how to sync it with my Garmin Connect.

I have already contacted Garmin, who asks me to manipulate the file to delete measurements and transfer it to Strava to resynchronize it to Garmin Connect.
it does not work. “it’s a bit of DIY”

Does anyone have any ideas on how to sync my file?
I would like to analyze my track (timing/km in different zones)

2/
In ultra trail running, I also use the LiveTrack function so that my family and friends can follow me.
This is very useful when tracking in the mountains.
Well this LiveTRack is limited to 24 hours.
After 24 hours, I must restart the LiveTrack to receive a new tracking link and send this link to my family and friends.
My watch has a battery life of 86 hours and this LiveTRack is limited to 24 hours... :-(

I also contacted Garmin. but I have no response from them.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
Thank you in advance for your help

Thank you for your feedback, it has been passed on directly to the fēnix product manager.

If you have not already done so, take a look at the recording rate and set it to Smart Recording. That will reduce the file size. Also look at the UltraTrac mode. UltraTrac mode will further reduce the file size and extend the battery life too.

I also suggest posting to the fēnix forum, as others may already be discussing similar questions there.

Thank you for your response.

I already adapt settings for my activities.

(only GPS activated and measurements deviation)

I don't know in advance what is the size of the FIT file...

My watch have a battery of 86 hours.
Why I must evaluate or reduce settings ! ?

40Mb is not a big file.

And I must analyse my trace after..

If I reduce more settings. (it's not possible to analyse my trace)
I can buy a simple watch 50€ with the hours.
I I bought a Garmin Fenix 7x, It's to have more settings and result to analyse.

My watch can display results of my activity.
But not Garmin Connect !

PLease change your settings for users.

Thank you
Jean-François
