Corrupt FIT file

935 died literally one mile from the finish of IMTX. I was about 13:20 into the race. I'm going to reach out to Garmin about that (that's a whole other discussion).

In the meantime I have a corrupt FIT file that will not upload. Any magicians on here able to help out? Thanks a million in advance.

Having computer issues - I will be back as soon as I have rebuilt the computer that has the Fit File Repair Tool on it.

Whenever you have such a bad day you can try to connect your watch to your Windows PC and start my Foxrunner tool. This small program will try to read all geo locations from a FIT file and create a GPX file which could be used in most programs.

In your case a 227km track is generated within few seconds...

Here's the tool (activate the option "Auto Convert" to create the GPX files)
Foxrunner 32-Bit
Foxrunner 64-Bit

your "foxrunner" utility is extremely handy, thank you for creating/sharing it!

was trying to setup a windows rsync-like copy when connected but it is far easier

wishlist:

1. could you add an option to also copy over any new screenshots stored in the \GARMIN\SCRNSHOT folder ?

2. maybe menu option to do a CHKDSK on the garmin storage periodically, I've found my garmin corrupts sometimes and causes activities to fail to save on rare occasion (but make auto-fix optionally, I don't want /F unless I know something is wrong)
