GPX help

How to get a GPX file

Foil Run starts from a recorded GPS activity. Export a timestamped GPX from your watch, water-sports app, or Strava, then drop it into Analyze.

The file Foil Run wants
GPS pointswith time

Activity track

Use a recorded session, not a planned route.

Timestamps

Foil Run needs time on each track point to calculate speed and segments.

GPX file

Upload the .gpx export. FIT and TCX are future candidates, not current imports.

Avoid route-only GPX files

A route file can show where to go, but may not include when you were there. Foil Run needs a recorded activity GPX with timestamps so speed, wind lookup, trimming, and segment detection can work.

Export paths

Common trackers and apps

If your app can export GPX or sync to Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, or Waterspeed, it probably has a path into Foil Run.

Strava

Good if your session already syncs there.

  1. Open the activity on strava.com or mobile web.
  2. Use the activity actions menu or the GPX button above the map.
  3. Download the .gpx file and upload it to Foil Run.

The Strava app is not the reliable GPX export path. Use the website.

Garmin Connect

Best for Garmin watches and bike computers.

  1. Open Garmin Connect on the web.
  2. Go to Activities, then open the activity detail page.
  3. Use the gear icon and export GPX.

If Garmin gives you a zipped FIT file instead, unzip it. Foil Run still needs GPX today.

Waterspeed

Good water-sports tracker for Apple Watch, phone, and synced watches.

  1. Open the saved activity in Waterspeed.
  2. Use the Share button on the navigation detail page.
  3. Export GPX, then upload that file.

Waterspeed documents GPX export as a Pro feature and can also sync with Garmin, COROS, Suunto, Vakaros, Strava, and Apple Health.

Apple Watch / Fitness

Works, but Apple does not make one-workout GPX export obvious.

  1. Record with a GPS workout that saves a route.
  2. Use a HealthKit export app such as GPX Export or Health Auto Export.
  3. Export the workout route as GPX.

Apple Health can export all health data, but that is a bulk XML/route archive. A small GPX export app is usually easier.

Suunto

Good for Suunto watch recordings with GPS.

  1. Open the workout in the Suunto app.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu.
  3. Choose GPX export and save or share the file.

Suunto only offers GPX for workouts with GPS. FIT may contain more sensor detail, but Foil Run imports GPX today.

COROS

Good for COROS watches and DURA recordings.

  1. Open the workout detail page in the COROS app.
  2. Tap the top-right settings menu.
  3. Choose Export Data, then GPX.

COROS recommends FIT when heart-rate detail matters. GPX is enough for Foil Run track geometry and timing.

Polar Flow

Good for Polar watches, but use the web service.

  1. Open Polar Flow on the web.
  2. Go to Diary and open the training session.
  3. Use Export and choose GPX.

Polar also exports FIT, TCX, and CSV. Pick GPX for Foil Run.

WorkOutDoors

Good Apple Watch option for direct file control.

  1. Record the session with WorkOutDoors.
  2. Open the workout in the iPhone app.
  3. Export the workout as GPX.

WorkOutDoors can also export FIT or TCX and can upload to Strava.

Still stuck?

Export whatever your tracker gives you and send a note through Feedback. If it is a GPX with GPS points and timestamps, Foil Run should be able to read it. If it is FIT, TCX, CSV, or a route-only GPX, that is useful product input for the import backlog.
