GOTOES Strava Tools Forum

Strava keeps track of your activities, and tries to prevent you from uploading the same activity twice. If you're modifying a file using GOTOES, you might want to keep the original file in your account and make sure the GOTOES file is what you want before you delete the original. To TRY and upload a...

Thanks. Great detective work! That is good information. So, my first thought as a workaround is this: Garmin allows “developer data,” which is a place for developers to add data fields of any type. In theory, one could add a “heart rate” DD field, transfer the real heart rate values from the native ...

I cannot seem to replicate this issue. First, I took your GOTOES and original files and uploaded them to https://www.fitfileviewer.com .

Many users have asked me about a way to upload "historical" activities to Strava from a spreadsheet. I've been provided with a few test spreadsheets and come up with a solution. Strava only allows the following fields to be added to manual activities: Activity Name Activity Type Sport Type...

A number of users have approached me about the FIT or TCX files being produced by their treadmills or indoor trainers. Sometimes, the distance field AND the GPS position is absent, meaning that they receive a distance of 0 when uploading to Strava. If you have the GPS position (latitude/longitude fr...

Could you please check your source file first? I suspect that the issue is in the source, as I’ve never encountered this before. You can upload your source file to this forum for inspection if you think that the file is OK, and the problem is with the tool. Also, when you say you click on “edit endp...
