Speed, Altitude, Slope fields missing in Golden Cheetah since FW2.64

Hi,
since update to FW 2.64 I missing the Speed, Altitude and Slope fields in Golden Cheetah after import of the FIT-file from the FR945. Same issue with FW2.7.

In GC and Strava all data are available.
Exported fit-file from GC shows the same missing data.
Reset of the FR945 and re-installation of Golden Cheetah did not solve the problem.
Any ideas here?
Thanks.

Confirmed, in GoldenCheetah V3.5 RC1 the issue with the speed, altitude and slope is fixed. You have to delete and reload the affected activities. https://cl.ly/fceb103c78c2

Sounds related to the problems with Endomondo:

The speed data seems to be available in the FIT file, but in slightly different format
```
cat old.FIT |./fitdump.pl |grep -i speed -m10 |tail -n3
  speed (6-1-UINT16): 0.101 km/h (28)
  speed (6-1-UINT16…
```

Yes, thank you. Looks like the same issue. Was there a change in the fit-file since FW2.64?

Most probably. Only Garmin can answer that.

I am using runalyze for training stats and noticed no difference.

use Training Peaks, no probs detected, runalyze i am only looking into, but everything looks fine, they are the only one who display Climb Pro in your files!

The problem was likely that the newer devices started using the enhanced speed and altitude fields that have more range than the old fields. The old fields were just 16 bit and the new ones are 32 bit. They probably need the extra range for some of the new sports added to the MARQ line, like driving, where speeds could exceed the old limits. Slope was just an issue because that is computed from altitude by Golden Cheetah.
