Converting TCX or GPX to Garmin FIT file

[StevieL]

I think the title speaks for itself.

 

What I am trying to do is to get a strava activity (not mine) onto my fenix 3 as a course. It doesn't recognise TCX or GPX files, and simply copying into the New files folder doesn't seem to work as it did on my old Garmin 500. (I don't even have a new files folder anymore with the Fenix 3.

 

Any ideas?

Have you tried using the FIT format? I have used it when other formats don't work.

Problem is converting it to FIT. Can't find conversion software anywhere.

Here is the GPX file I need as a FIT file.

I looked for the fit file you want, but I cant find it ANYWHERE on my backups. Sorry dude.

 

Found some cool old pics and some interesting video libraries during the search though

Thanks Patch...

Still battling with this problem as you can see.

My one and only gripe so far with this Fenix 3.

I have used this TCX converter when I created routes from google maps (need for when was cycling in France earlier this year)... easier than carrying a map book

It has the option to convert to a FIT file

 

Also this website you can convert files http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do

I believe files can be converted using Garmin Basecamp...

Hmmm, that is a dodgy file - it says it has "converted" it, but nothing available afterwards.

Maybe the file is half my problem.

Thanks for the effort anyways.

Not sure about the FIT file for the Fenix, but I've used the link (gpsies) to convert to the Garmin TCX format and successfully loaded it unto an Edge500. It was the only conversion that I could get to work.

Finally managed to get it to convert and transfer with Garmin Base Camp.
