Author Topic: Multiple Tracks from Garmin 705 tcx files (Read 4590 times)

I'm using the TF demo version until my pro version arrives. My Garmin 705 .tcx files when downloaded are broken up into several tracks (for example, a 32 mile ride consisting of approx. 500 points). There is a merge function in the documentation, but I can't get it to work. This appears related to a multi-lap problem described in another thread. If similar is there a fix in the works or is there a limitation to the number of points allowed in a track?

Rick,

First, your purchase went through and you should have got the email with your registration info. Did you not get the "Thanks for your Purchase" email? I can resend if necessary.

There's no limitation on the number of points in a track. 500 points is a small track, actually. The 705 seems to have changed the way it breaks tracks when it loses signal or you push/start. Can you email a .tcx file to support@topofusion.com so I can take a look and confirm it's the same issue?

I will see if automatically merge files like yours makes sense. Otherwise, an auto-merge is called for. It would be pretty tedious to merge tracks like these by hand.

Thanks for sending the file. I've made it so "auto pause" and "laps" are now auto merged. You shouldn't see this issue anymore.

That is, as soon as you install the upcoming beta version. Should be out in the next day or so. Will post when it's available (to registered users like yourself).

Scott,
Thanks. It's kind of cheating not to count the pausing (on my part), but you can hardly help stoplights and such.

Beta version is out with merging.
