GOTOES Strava Tools Forum

Okay. Thanks again for all the work on behalf of the Stryders out here...

Here is my attempt at single email with all the info (input and output files attached). Using your latest version (web-site as of 3/3/2026).


I choose the merge tool, select "Noon Run GIR (1).fit" and "Long Run+.fit"
I ...

First let me explain more clearly.

The pod starts recording with movement. In my case, a couple minutes before I start running.
After a short walk, I start my run.
Sometime during the run, the pod disconnects from the watch which causes a crash in the Stryd data-field for Garmin.
To fix that crash ...

I can't control when the Stryd starts and stops. It just starts recording when my foot starts moving and stops the same way. And I walk to where my run starts and then walk back so there's no way to line them up. I was hoping the timestamps would fix that but maybe somehow Stryd and my watch are ...

Hi, I have completed an activity this morning, but the heart rate tracking was messed up. It seems to me based on my experience that it was recording half of what the heart rate should have been. I would like to double heart rate so it is a bit more accurate, especially in terms of the training ...

I was about to try to add the fake track but it seems that the option is not available for my indoor workout (Screenshot). I tried changing the activity type to Biking, Spin Cycling or Road Cycling but the option did not show up.

One more thing, I am able to import the FIT file that I get from the ...

If you see an "Invalid File Lookup – Start Over" message when using the GOTOES Merge Tool with Strava activities:


Check to make sure you're not using private browsing / incognito mode /blocked cookies that prevent Strava authorization from being ...

Strange... because it has always worked for me like this, until today! But I will follow your recommendations.

Thank you very much!

Hello. I noticed when using your tool that the device is not appearing onto the Garmin Connect page. It used to show the watch I would be wearing that I could select on your tool. For curiosity, I tried it again and the same thing happened. I thought I should let you know.

The device I tried to ...

We are working on a ride from Ohio to Wash DC and have each days file completed. The files look good in Strava and Garmin. Some of the files join perfectly, but two jumble up and go from less than 100 miles each to thousands of miles. Another two files join out of order and create an added straight ...

I have used your app for a fair bit now, but I may not have noticed this before. Here is the Fulgaz.fit file (link obfuscated) . When this gets
Uploaded to Garmin and when I look at it in Fit File Viewer it says the total ascent is 1834m when it should actually be about 910m. That is what gets sent ...

I read in the forum that if I put 'row' in the subject field of the email then the activity will automatically be saved as a 'Rowing' activity instead of a 'workout'? I tried that but it didn't work. Rowing works….but Row doesn’t

Here is the elevation after using your tool.

The blue line is the file I used as a sample.
The red line is where I modified the blue file, adding in a big elevation spike; effectively "poisoning" it.
The yellow line is where I took the "poisoned" file and ran it through your tool with the slider ...

One of the cool features of a virtual riding platform such as Rouvy is that anyone can create a virtual ride from the video footage and GPS track of an activity. The problem though is that the final quality of the virtual route depends pretty much on the quality and accuracy of the GPS data used. We ...

I have sent you a repaired file. It should be fixed now. Please report back.

I accidentel withdraw the permisson for your application.
Now i can not find the way to activate your integration in Strava.

I have previously been able to use your tools to convert Peloton data (downloaded from Strava) so that it was able to uploaded to Training Peaks -- it worked fine for my last Peloton ride 11/5/2020 (I use that bike very infrequently) but was unsuccessful 12/25/2020. Error uploading to Training Peaks ...

I'm not sure if this is on your side of Strava's but my Fenix 3 activities (correctly identified as such in your tool) show up simply as Fenix on Strava. This happens with both .gpx and .tcx formats. Thanks for your time and work!

Hi, Thanks for the tool. It works great. Just a heads up about a possible bug. I selected 'Garmin Forerunner 645 Music' from the 'GPS Type in Output File' drop down box. Selected file output is GPX. Strava thinks that the selected GPS type is 'Garmin Forerunner 45' Cheers.

Hi. thank you for a great app. I am trying to combine two files that have a large overlap. One was recorded on Strava app and one on Garmin 510. I have downloaded them to both be .gpx and attempted to combine them. I checked the box 'remove duplicates' regarding overlaps. see below. But the ...

I need to combine a file that is larger than your allowed size - do you have tools that I can download to do this?

I recorded a run using Apple Watch activity app on Monday. GPS failed to save the route (but did save distance, time and heart rate). I exported a manual route (GPX) and then used your tool to add timestamps; then merged with original workout file (GPX). After a few tweaks, I finally got this to ...

Hi, I am trying to add heart rate data, recorded on an apple watch directly on strava app, to data from a tacx indoor trainer, also uploaded to strava via the tacx app. I have the TCX file format from the indoor trainers data downloaded from strava. The issue I am having is that the heart rate data ...

I tried to upload a gpx file on Strava but always I receive this message and I don't understand why. Many thanks! About to send your file... Sending. . . SENT Checking Upload Status .. Sorry - your upload to Strava failed with this error: Your activity is still being processed. There was an error ...

Hello! I am really admire what you are doing, but I have a two little, pretty simple questions - 1) as I upload a combined activity to Strava, I can see that a distance and a time in my individual file is different from the combined one (for example, individual file has a 41m 8s length while ...

Want to combine 26 .fit files (~100Kb each). Since the limitation is 20 I know I have to combine 13 then the other 13 then combined the two combined files. However the size of the output .gpx is way way bigger than the sizes of the fit files combined so I hit the other limitation (20MB total size ...
