Import Garmin Fit / TCX Activity Type ("Sport") to Tour Type, Tags or Title #155

Open mt-from-sf-to-gh opened 4 years ago

Hello,

I'm migrating from garmin connect and trying to import several thousand activities in the FIT format (have tried TCX as well).

Setting the Tour Type by hand on these would be very time consuming, especially since once imported they do not appear to retain any indicator of thier original Activity/Sport Type.

I understand that currently there is no option to automatically set the Tour Type based on the Garmin Activity/Sport type (such as "Running", "Cycling", "Walking", "Swimming", etc).

I also am aware of the feature to automatically set the Tour Type based on speed when importing. This is not a good solution in my case, since it can be error prone. Consider, for example, "Swimming" speed can sometimes be the same as "Walking" speed, or even the same speed of a long, slow uphill only mountain "Running" activity.

However, since there is already a specific, non-ambiguous and accurate indicator of the Activity/Sport Type within the file itself, it would be very useful to have this imported.

Thank you for considering this request!

Also, I see now that the Activity/Sport type for Fit Files does get imported into the "deviceModename" field shown in the Tour Info panel.

Even if there was just a way to extend the filter or search to use this field so that Tours matching this criteria could be selected and then have their Tour Type set, that would be an ok workaround.

Hi, I post here as my questio/request seems similar. I import my activities with fit files, which contains Sport and Sub_Sport information. MTB can recognize the Sport information and set the Tour type accordingly : cool, but what about the Sub_Sport ? For example : BackCountry Skiing, is "ALPINE SKIING" sport (code 13) and Sub_Sport "BACKCOUNTRY". But MTB import all my fit files as "ALPINE SKIING" only.

Idem for Trail Running, which is "RUNNING" / "TRAIL" fit combination.

in the most perfect world : an additional feature would recognize the official fit "SPORT" + "SUB_SPORT" and let the user put its own name for each combination (so that user can put his own translation for fitsdk english ones). Maybe some new table with column1 = SPORT, column2=SUB_SPORT, column3=TourTypeName In case of unkown combination at import --> MTB create a new entry with default name = Sport/Sub_Sport In case of known combination at import --> MTB affect the TourType of the TourTypeName defined.

Does it make sense and could be possible ?
