GOTOES Strava Tools Forum

When you export from GOTOES, are you exporting as FIT or TCX? Strava has been overriding more and more information from TCX files (probably because they are considered “modifiable”). If you export as FIT, it should show the number in the original field. If you already are exporting as FIT from GOTOE...

I re-read your question (was climbing on my bike when I first read it)… now I understand better. What you are asking is not supported by the tool (yet). I’m now trying to thing about two things: 1) Does anyone else have this scenario (to make it worth my time to add such feature) and… 2) How would I...

Ah yes… you need to add the time stamps to the GPX first. Then it will show. This is the tool you need:

Here is the solution to handling FIT files that are too big for Garmin/Strava/GOTOES: The FIT file format allows for the storage of a massive amount of data in a relatively small file. Frankly, it's amazing how much information you can pack into such a small file. A problem arises when there is SO ...

I had a user reach out to me saying that if he swims with the FORM Swim Goggles in pools that are shorter than 15m, none of the distance, speed or lap distance is recorded. I wrote a work-around on my tool for this admittedly unusual situation in the case that there are other users out there who hav...

Just a heads up, I re-worked it again. I discovered that some characters are "illegal" in these TCX files. I haven't had to deal with that in the past for track files because they just have numeric values (speed, elevation, lat/lon, etc)... but with waypoint files, users can supply their o...

OK, please give it another try. In the files you provided, 145 and 38 POIs were detected respectively. I ran the merger with the new settings, and found a result of 126 POIs in the final file, hopefully meaning that the unwanted points were removed, but the desired ones are stored...

You’re going to have to tell me how far you want a valid point to be from the track. Since you’re the one who asked for the feature, you get to determine the threshold.

The other day, a user asked me if GOTOES could merge files containing POIs (waypoints). The GOTOES engine has long been based on linear time stamps - but waypoints generally don't have time associated with the POIs. The request was a valid one: How can you merge a COURSE track with WAYPOINTS (POIs) ...

Hey Guys - I wanted to let you in on a little information on how speed works in GOTOES, Strava, Garmin, and Training Peaks. You may have noticed in GOTOES that you have the option to "smooth speed" when exporting as TCX or FIT (see screenshot below): Screen Shot 2023-07-16 at 12.23.23 PM.p...
