Upload Size Limitations

[GotoesUser]

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). Why is the resultant .gpx so much bigger than the total of the input .fit file sizes?

Good Question. FIT files are compressed, and more “taxing” to process - so much harder on the server. GPX files can be zipped (compressed) and they contain a lot less information than the FIT Files, so they are easier to parse through. Can you try zipping the GPX files and uploading the zipped file? That ought to get you past the upload limit size. If it doesn’t you can try doing the 13 files… and select “discard every fifth tracepoint” (or something around that number) to make the files smaller. Do that with the other 13 files, and then try and merge the two pairs of 13 files.
