HappyG(rrr) Jan 2021 2:08pm, 28 Jan 2021 37,341 posts	HappyG(rrr) Back on the - 12 most common GPS devices are all Garmin, Fetch, can you help with a question a few pages back that I certainly didn't know the answer to, do you get "Device" info if the user uploads manually via FIT, TCX or any other file format? If so, does mean the results are "most common GPS device from which Fetchies are able to upload automatically, not including the manual ones?" Doesn't matter either way, just curious. G
fetcheveryone Jan 2021 2:09pm, 28 Jan 2021 25,584 posts	fetcheveryone Kieren - looking at your raw data, your effort appears to start after 797 seconds, at which point you'd accumulated 2153.47 metres. The raw data shows you reaching 7155.86 metres (and thereby accumulating enough for 5k) at 1973 seconds. That's an elapsed 1176 seconds, or 19m36 as a starting point. However, because that's a couple of metres more than it needs to be, the calculated figure is actually 1176/5002.39*5000 = 1175.44s. Fetch rolls on through the data, dropping the 797s point, which means that the finish line is potentially pushed a few metres back. In this case, the accumulated distance at 798 seconds is 2156.38 metres, and the corresponding end point is 7160.56 metres at 1974 seconds. So that's 5004.18 metres in 1176, or 5000 metres in 1175.02s ~= 19m35s.
larkim Jan 2021 2:11pm, 28 Jan 2021 13,369 posts	larkim I think Fetch's point is that his benchmark is calculated from the GPS file. There is a chunk in there of continuous movement that covers 5k in 19m35s which this site has calculated from the GPS trace sent over from Garmin. The Garmin will be reading the same chunk too in a similar way I'd have thought. Why that is inconsistent with the lapping on the watch though is a slightly different question.

HappyG(rrr) Jan 2021 3:46pm, 28 Jan 2021 37,352 posts	HappyG(rrr) But do all manually uploaded FIT files e.g. Coros? Apple Watch? Have a "Device" specified in them?

fetcheveryone Jan 2021 3:48pm, 28 Jan 2021 25,587 posts	fetcheveryone They have a manufacturer ID. As per my blog, the nearest non-Garmin to the top 12 was "all of the Suunto's put together". COROS have seven users.
HappyG(rrr) Jan 2021 3:54pm, 28 Jan 2021 37,353 posts	HappyG(rrr) Thanks Fetch, I wasn't sure if it included manual uploads. But clearly it does. Thanks! Still amazes me that 99% plus of training imported into Fetch is Garmin! G
