ONLY GPS data from Suunto Spartan as GPX

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS do you need an activity to be converted to GPX format?

PerttiS

I am using Spartan as GPS tracker , I am only intrested GPS data (coordinates/ time stamp)

sartoric

@PerttiS
Which app version do you have ?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS on the activity that you want the GPX file press create route. Save the route and then share it. GPX is for routes.

PerttiS

How you create the route? I my phone only options are “share” and “edit”. In edit you can add only comment. And at share : share link

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS top right corner the vertical 3 dots

PerttiS

Ok, not very clear interface…and then how you share that, where my route was saved? Can´t find any routes…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS go to the map tab there is a list for the routes you have created. From there you can share them

PerttiS

As a Link, or email…ok littlebit akward but maybe doable. I don´t have Airdrob ability.

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS its shared as a link because if not:

You would have to download a GPX file that can become big
You would have then to try to attach that file to some email or so which can also not be supported.

as a link you can share and don’t worry about downloading/uploading or file size limits depending on the apps (eg email has a limit of x mbs etc)

PerttiS

Now I have a link to pretty map. How can I get actual GPS data, I don´t need any summary or maps, just raw GPS info, prefer GPX format.
Hope you are not shutting down movescount soon, if so you render my spartan useless…

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS you have to share the link on the routes list not on the activity list.
You most probably shared the link to an activity.

Create the route from an activity as we talked before. Name it eg test!
Go to the map. Press the list icon to see your routes. You should see there 1 route called test. That route has an icon to share it. Tap that and you get the link to share the route not the activity.

PerttiS

Who desings these intefaces, you could add couple of steps …And all files are named “shared-route.gpx” not any reference to saved route name?

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS that is a good point about the naming.
However, the name is contain in the file.

In the next update there is the activity share button that can also share a route directly without those steps

PerttiS

Really happy that you walked me through, I would never figure out how to get files out by my self.
Thanks a lot!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@PerttiS no problem and you are welcome. I do know the “pain” and for sure this will be improved.

PerttiS

I looked those GPX files, there is wrong time stamp, time is same per everys coordinate
that time seems to be export time as UTC

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Not sure what you are asking but the time is always UTC for GPX files

@PerttiS that looks fine. IS that from the Suunto app export ?
