Feedback Export GPS File

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos For me it’s missing. Below are consecutive screenshots, trying all options.

@kukubau that’s your activity though. Did you make a route out of it first?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@kukubau create a route , name it

Go to your routes -> share -> copy link (has download for the GPX)

I just wanted to chime in as I am unable to export my last workout to GPX format.

@isazi @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I guess his problem is this one

So definitely the wrong thread

You didn’t understand my issue. I want to export my previous activity to *.GPX format from within the Suunto app (like saving the *.FIT file) as I was able to do from Movescount due to the fact that is no SuuntoLink web based application and Movescount will be discontinued.

Having the *.FIT save option available, it is a matter of common sense, for the development team to offer the user the option to save the activity to a generally accepted format like *.GPX.

It defies the purpose.

@sartoric
Yes, that’s my problem and no this is not the wrong thread.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Why would I want to create a new route to copy an already performed activity to be able to save it as *.GPX?!? This is user unfriendly and very counter intuitive.
On the other hand, route creation has its purpose, I will not deny it.

@kukubau
Once you are here

you should save your “My route” and once saved, you may have the option to Share this “My route” route.
And this sharing will give you a link to download GPX.
Workout --> Saveto Route --> Share saved route = GPX

well … we could discuss about it

the OP asked for Feedback Export GPS File maybe a typo maybe not, but the OP never replied

and then things become FIT vs GPX for activity

and @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said

The app exports:

GPX:

Workouts as routes
Routes created in the app
FIT:

Workouts

In fact you cannot export GPX for an activity , only FIT files

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Thank you for your help.

I was a big Suunto fan and I’ve praised Suunto sport watches to everyone that was planning on buying a sport/smart watch. Sadly, this moment is the moment when I will leave Suunto for good and do my business elsewhere.

Suunto, you have become such a Disappointment.

Bummer! See my previous reply.

Bye Suunto, 5 Suunto watches later!

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@kukubau because of the GPX ? For realz? Like GPX are now obsolete files only used by routing mostly. Most important they lack the valuable info your watch records etc.

I don’t know man. If you are going to leave Suunto for a GPX export good luck.

Thanks

@kukubau you’ve been provided with a workaround, you don’t like it, but don’t pretend it doesn’t work (like you did for messages on end).

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos @Mff73
Once I save “My Route”, shouldn’t I find “My Route” saved somewhere on my phone or within the Suunto app?

Well, I can’t find “My Route” not within the Suunto app, nor as a file in my iphone storage. Once I click SAVE, this dialog closes and I’m back to screen 1 (picture 1 from the print screens I’ve posted).

This is something that I wanted to ask previously.
Thanks.

[isazi]

@kukubau you have your list of routes in the explore/routes tab.

I’m sorry, that is not a workaround. I’m not pretending. It DOES NOT work, because that feature was no implemented.

I haven’t posted here to quarrel, I’ve posted here in good faith and to have a constructive discussion.

[isazi]

@kukubau you don’t want to have a discussion, you want to be right. Bye.

@isazi said in Feedback Export GPS File:

I have no such thing in the Suunto app on my iphone. Most likely this is available just for Android OS.

Don’t you have something like that ?

I can see how FIT files are more appropriate (/essential) for runners and others who record biometrics in their exercises but Suunto continues to market to hikers and long-range trekkers for whom the GPX remains the common currency (along with KML/Z).

A FIT file does not, as far as I know, contain multiple routes, tracks, POIs as a GPX can. The latter is a versatile format for recording AND planning (and sharing, deliberately minus biometrics) … and those aren’t obsolete requirements for hikers, or those who carry out long expeditions.

Does SA import FIT files and extract routes therefrom?

Until FIT files do all that GPX can, GPX will not be obsolete for many hikers and trekkers.

Mind you, those hikers and trekkers might be obsolete to Suunto.
