Which FIT Data Fields does GOTOES support?

[fulmar2]

People will often ask me if GOTOES will export a certain data field that they really want into their FIT file. Here is a list of the currently supported FIT FILE fields that GOTOES can process. Keep in mind that this is an evolving list. As I receive feature requests or new fields are added, I try to keep up. GOTOES is mostly targeted at Cyclists, Runners, and Swimmers - so I try to prioritize fields that are pertinent to these sports.

To ensure that these fields are transferred from your import to your export, you want to make sure that the "Parse Rarely Used FIT fields" checkbox is checked as illustrated below:

Supported FIT Developer Data Fields


GOTOES currently supports ALL PROPERLY ENCODED Developer Data Record and Session Fields. A Record Field is like a stream of data. Think of power, heart rate, or vertical oscillation. This is data that occurs over a period of time. Note that when I say "properly encoded" data that many nascent manufacturers have not registered their ID with ThisIsAnt and they just leave the Developer ID field blank. Furthermore, I have received quite a few files with the Session Data improperly placed in the Record fields. At this time, GOTOES does its best to process these files.. but technically, they are not formatted correctly. Garmin does it correctly (of course: They designed the spec).. but quite a few 3rd party apps like Coros and Stryd still do not do it correctly. GOTOES will tell you what it can (and cannot) insert if you load your files and check the "ConnectIQ" stream checkbox.

Here is an example of an improperly formatted Stryd file. This file comes directly from the Stryd app. People who pair a Stryd sensor with a Garmin Device do not have this problem with GOTOES. I am planning on writing a work-around to address this issue. Hopefully it will be finished by mid 2024.
