How to read data offline from Edge 520? (FIT 2.0 issue)

Former Member over 7 years ago

My 520 was recently replaced by Garmin due to battery problems. The new device currently runs with 12.1. It looks like with one of the latest firmware updates the Edge 520 has switched from FIT version 1.0 to 2.0.

Until now it was very easy to load track data from the device into Basecamp. Unfortunately Basecamp can't handle FIT 2.0 and there are some informations that Basecamp won't be updated anymore.

So I have some questions for the Garmin Gurus:

- How can I load and view track from Edge 520 data when I'm not online?
- Is it true that Basecamp will not be updated anymore?

If there is no simple way I have to switch back to firmware 9.1, which was running well on the old device.

My understanding is that development of BaseCamp is over, so it is what it is.

Rollback Edge 520 firmware:

If you want, just go back to 9.10. I did. You need to back up certain files before you do it (settings.fit, records.fit, locations.fit and all sport profiles in use) otherwise they get reset.

Download the update file from http://gawisp.com/perry/edge/Edge520_910.gcd, rename it GUPDATE.GCD and copy it to the Garmin folder on the device. Get a message about the version being older than what was already installed when I turned it on, told it to go ahead and overwrite it! It also erased all user settings but that's not a big deal.

Rollback Edge 520 firmware:...

I was forced several times to perform the procedure on my old device. Nevertheless thank you for the tip ;)
