setting GPSMap 67i file types

With your 67i set to generate a GPX file as well as a FIT file when you save your track, the GPX file is written to the device \Garmin\GPX folder and this folder can be accessed from your computer to retrieve them. The GPX files of any Waypoints are also written here.

Your GPX tracks can be viewed on the device in Saved Tracks, and saved Waypoints in Waypoint Manager.

Alternatively you can use BaseCamp.

NB BaseCamp cannot delete FIT files and will continue to read any FIT files on the device until these are deleted. These can be simply deleted from the device \Garmin\Activities folder or delete them on the device one by one in Recorded Activities.

The GPSrChive website is worth reviewing for further information on this device https://www.gpsrchive.com/GPSMAP/GPSMAP%2067/index.htm

What data are you searching for exactly?

By default Garmin will store recorded activities in FIT file format. You can configure the device to store recorded activities in GPX format as well (see Menu > Setup > Recording > Advanced Setup > Output Format). The GPX files for recorded activities are stored in the Garmin\GPX folder on the internal storage.

Personally I find FIT files much better than GPX for recorded activities: they are smaller, allow for more data to be stored like sensors or custom data from Connect IQ apps, and they can easily be processed by different tools and platforms. FIT is kind of the default file type for activities (and courses) in the Garmin world, as it is used on most Garmin cycling computers, outdoor handhelds and smart watches.

If you mark a location and save it as a waypoint, the waypoint is stored in a GPX file in the Garmin\GPX folder on the internal storage of the device.

If you want to navigate a track or route, the GPSMAP 67i supports navigation GPX track and GPX routes. But it also supports Courses that come in FIT files. The navigation experience is a bit different for each, so take whatever suits your needs.

I was after the GPX files that, with your advice I was able to find so a big THANK YOU. Much appreciated

Thanks for your advice Eyelet99. I was able to find the GPX files I was after! Enjoy your day

Might be helpful to post links to your favorite .fit tools. It's been a while since I bothered to look. At the time, there was not much out there. Certainly much, much less than for .gpx. Everybody reads .gpx. .fit, not so much. At least not at the time. (I am talking about outside the Garmin walled garden.)
