Hello,
Thank you for this tool, first off!
It looks like when I combines tcx output from indoor bike w/ the Garmin connect export (tcx), the resultant record showing Garmin connect averages power and cadence. I looked at the indoor bike tcx file and it does contain timestamps, watts, and rpms so not sure why when I upload it only show avgs. There's probably some toggle in the tool I'm missing.
TIA

Re: Combining indoor bike w/ Garmin - only see averages
So, I think what you are saying is that the data for cadence and power is missing (i.e. the streams) for these two types of data? Can you please do the following:
1) Upload a screenshot of what is "missing" to your post here on the forum.
2) Double check to make sure that in Garmin Connect, you do not have these items hidden.
3) Upload the source files (TCX) and a screenshot of the exact settings you are using on GOTOES to generate the file.
GOTOES should definitely be exporting all of the data (unless you uncheck one or more of the streams). For TCX, all of the "usual" streams are available, except TCX does not support temperature. Once you provide the information requested above, I can tell you how to resolve it.

Hey thank you for reply. Attached are the files from Garmin, the indoor bike and screenshots of power and cadence charts that only show avg. I wish I were that consistent! Except it shows really low 
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Combining indoor bike w/ Garmin - only see averages
Hello - I downloaded the "GOTOES_8544169314718573.tcx" file and looked at the data - Everything looks fine in the TCX file. I am wondering: Are you sure that you uploaded the GOTOES file to Garmin and deleted any other related files (i.e. files that occurred in the same time frame)? The reason I ask is because your other file "rideData.tcx" is essentially an invalid file. If you load that file (or look at it with a text editor), you will see that every data point has the exact same time stamp of "2025-11-11T00:43:24Z". Activity files are meant to be a progression over time, but if you accidentally uploaded "rideData.tcx", you're going to be seeing just a single point value.
As an aside, I'll mention that because the rideData.tcx file is essentially useless (unless you can fix the timestamp issue), there is no point in trying to merge it. One possible solution is to use to GOTOES timestamp tool to "fit" the timestamps to roughly match the start and stop times of your "real" activity ( the one called "2025_11_10_les_mills_trip_36.tcx"). I'd suggest that you first try to get the corrected "rideData.tcx" from the original source (where did you get it from that there is a single timestamp?)... and if that fails, then try to use the GOTOES timestamp tool.
Hope that helps you out.
