How much coursepoint

The Garmin 935 could only handle 50 coursepoints, how much coursepoint can a 945 handle?

    Attachement haves a course file that counts 460 way/coursepoints :-)

    I tried....

    1. Previous week I saw a message on my FR935 telling me the max was 50
    2. Do not rember which course file it was :rolleyes:
    3. Dumped the FR945 device.fit file in csv format perhaps you now the file type to look for


    have fun searching....my guess was also 50....





    Where did you find these fit files?

    Lol, thanks... now deciding if I want to start messing around with it ;)

    About the device.fit, it can be found in the garmin folder of your watch when connecting it to a computer

    *Edit*

    Seems it's protected, copying the modified device.fit seemed to work but after a restart the original is there again.

    What tool/utility do you use to convert the .fit files into .csv? -- thanks.

    https://www.thisisant.com/resources/fit

    There's a java folderin there containing the tools, you can drag and drop the .fit file on the .bat...

    I actually made a tool for opening and editing fit files a while ago, never finished it but can also make it available. Gives a more GUI interface

    Thanks for the reference, I downloaded the zip file and will take a look.

    What language did you write your tool in?

    I just found the fitparse Python library (https://pythonhosted.org/fitparse/) and it dumps a bunch of info, still have to sift through the variables/docs, but I don't see anything like a recovery heart rate in the .fit file I pulled, nor mentioned in the .docs

    It seems this is all it pulls out - I have to dig in a bit more:

    * speed: 2193
    * timestamp: 2019-05-04 17:05:43
    * altitude: 3425
    * cadence: 80 rpm
    * distance: 3593.35 m
    * enhanced_altitude: 185.0 m
    * enhanced_speed: 2.193 m/s
    * fractional_cadence: 0.0 rpm
    * heart_rate: 114 bpm
    * position_lat: 4973799683 semicircles
    * position_long: -1041232398 semicircles
    * speed: 2193

    voila

    FR935 bike do course eersel
    vvvvv
    50 course point max. exceeded.
    Final 410 points wil not be shown.

    I don't think I have ever heard that the .fit file contained recovery heart rate.

    I would also consider such a recording useless, unless the activity level during the 2 minutes resting time is somehow recorded together with it. Otherwise you will get an incredible amount of data noise because you don't have the same level of activity after each session - unless you have a very strict routine.

    Levon, recovery heart rate you will find as event "21" only in activity fit files and only after waiting 2 minutes...

    FlipStone, device.fit is an in-output file, but guess not every item is input

    I found this about it being stored in the .FIT here

    and I believe I've seen it mentioned elsewhere before too. I just noticed this is for a vivoactive, would the file format vary between different models if they generate the same stats? Sorry, not very familiar with the Garmin file formats.

    I agree, it would vary vary a lot based on what people do after they push stop recording and the usefulness might be limited, but I basically have the same routine after I stop my regular runs, so I think I could gain some info from it .. I always try to look at it, but sometimes I click past it after it has been generated :-/ and then it's gone for good.
