Omg the terrible inconvenience of downloading a file and importing it! What has the world come to ;-) ? (My Aldi watch/app combo is somewhat more complicated. Results in a gpx file.)

I think Fetch mentioned tcx files being better as they had more data. But as you'll only be plotting a route, that's probably irrelevant.

You only get a FIT to download if a FIT was uploaded from Garmin. It will be GPX or TCX to be uploaded to here.

HappyG, I just realised why you're so concerned, you'll be stuffed WSW-wise!

WSW is a great game, but for a while it got me doing odd stuff, not any more...I still do ok though.

Larks, when I chose "Export Original" on strava having logged with strava app on phone, the file it saved is .FIT?

I think if you then import it to Garmin it'll auto thingy to Fetch and then your history will be complete on both platforms

I didn't think there was an import into Garmin option, not from strava app?
