Thanks OnlyTwo.

Here is link to the file: 

/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/402/2019_2D00_06_2D00_27_2D00_08_2D00_29_2D00_14.zip

Hope that works...

I did try FitFileTools but the max upload size is 20MB, and dont get me started on Garmin Support...  3 emails back and forward and they keep copying and pasting the same “Error Occurs When Manually Uploading Activity Data to Garmin Connect” from their FAQ’s page, without ever answering my questions!

Cheers.

Ohhh I just see that the FitFilerepairTool you link to is actually different from FitFileTools I was thinking of....  Yes please I would be most appreciative if you could please check out my attached file with the tool you mentioned :)

This is fixed in build 3.50. You are currently on build 3.20.

Sorry I need to make a correction here. It is apparently not in the next full release and not in the 3.50 release. The 3.50 went out just to address the sensor connectivity issue.

Thankyou so much OnlyTwo!!  You are a legend :)

Great thanks aweatherall.  I shall make sure I check out the software update. :)

wow...Garmin that was the quickest Fix

happy biking

Hi @aweatherall, no it is not: I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to 3.50. Do you know how to prevent this from happening?

The file is so big that in addition to the upload problem the device chokes on it if attempting to view its details n the history.

I'm also puzzled as to why the "Personal records" screen does not show anything even though I have ridden > 100km with the new unit. Is it faulty?

The issue is caused by a bug that can sometimes cause the TBT instructions to get repeatedly written to the activity file. This only happens when navigating and not every-time.

I was told it was fixed in the next release, but maybe that is the release that is planned for July and not the 3.50 release, which was put put just to address the sensor connectivity issue.

Sorry for any misinformation there.

I can fix the the activity file for you if you post it somewhere like dropbox where I can access it.

Not sure about the personal records. It sounds like an issue with something in memory. It may require the unit be reset, but before that try sending you personal records from Garmin Connect to your unit.

In Garmin Connect select personal records from the menu on the left hand side and then "Send to device"
