Sorry if this is an old/annoying question - I did search the forum first. I think the answer is no but I thought I'd check... Is there a way to automatically upload gpx or tcx files from an Android app to Fetch? I don't own a Garmin (I've always found my phone adaquate) but there seems to be limited information about getting gpx or tcx files from Android into Fetch. Your input is appreciated... |

Depends what the Android app is. If it's something Garmin based, you might have some joy - you can push data to Garmin Connect, then Fetch can suck it in from there. Otherwise, probably not automatic. You can still add gpx/tcx files manually via 'Add Training' though. |

The Garmin app on Android will upload to Garmin Connect, which will the automatically download to Fetch.

Unfortunately Garmin's Android dev team confirmed that they don't currently have a supported app for Android to record a track using an Android phone. So it looks like they no longer support/develop Garmin Fit - or the "record from my phone" feature within Garmin Fit. Back to the drawing board! |

Hello Broadsword, welcome to the forums.  I know your question was about automatic uploading, but just checking you are aware you can manually upload GPX/ TCX? That is what I do, from my Cranesport ie Aldi watch. |

This may not help, but might. Have a look at tapiriik.com - it supports lots of apps for recording runs and whatnot, many of which have Android apps. You could use one of these apps to record your runs, and set up tapiriik so that it automatically pushes that run to Garmin Connnect. You can then set up Fetch so that it automatically picks up anything pushed to GC. Complicated, but it would work. In fact, I used to do just this a while back before I went native and used GC directly.

Some of the apps will talk directly to GC, negating the need to use tapiriik. I think |

I'm experimenting with tapiriik.com at the moment. I had a look at syncing |
