bad distance for activity in connect.garmin.com and explore.garmin.com?

2052388 over 5 years ago

Any idea what's wrong with this track?

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/5463563954

It's a 13min hike, but in connect.garmin.com (and explore.garmin.com) is shows up as 60 miles. All the points look ok.

What software do you use to remove a point from a .fit file?

I'm using Fit File Repair Tool. It's not free, but you can play around with the demo to see how it works. I think you can do…

Can you zip the FIT file for this activity and attach it to this thread? We might be able to see better what is going on.

The last record of the file seemed to be problematic.

I removed it and recalculated the distance as 13.26 miles.

Try this file - 5463563954-fixed.zip

I was going to edit the gpx file associated with this activity (since they are easy to edit), but when I exported it and then looked at it in other software, it was ok and the total distances was correct.

I'm using Fit File Repair Tool. It's not free, but you can play around with the demo to see how it works. I think you can do everything except export the repaired FIT file. It will only work on a Windows machine, as it uses Microsoft Access database. Another helpful and free site is https://www.fitfiletools.com. A lot of issues can be fixed there. I initially tried running your file through that site, but was not successful.
