Import tool for Garmin Swim TCX file to runtastic

Hello all,

i was angry about the problem that you cannot import a Garmin Swim TCX file to the runtastic profile.
This is caused by missing GPS data in the file.

I wrote a little MS Windows tool which inserts GPS data into a given TCX file.

Please find it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/3l78cwmh3c80bhr/tcx_gps_V090.zip


Short manual:
- Export your swim data as a TCX file from Garmin Connect or find it in the ANT+ directory
- Go Google Maps and find longituide and latitude of your pool
- Go to the site http://www.gctoolbox.de/ger/tools/Abstand%20zwischen%202%20Koordinaten/distance.htm or any similar and calculate your other pool position by slightly modifing the second GPS coordinates, create a distance like 25m or 50m
- Fill the data in the fields of the tool and click on "Insert GPS"
- Software will add altering GPS position to each trackpoint
- There will be a resulting TCX file with a name extension "_GPS"
- Import it to runtastic

It is a first version which worked with my TCX files.
Please add any comments here if you encounter problems.
