What this format is
Start extender: you started the watch late. This back-fills a straight line from a chosen point (or stays put if you leave lat/lon blank and the first point has GPS).
How to get the file
- From Garmin Connect
- 1. Need GPS on the first recorded point, or type a start lat/lon.
- From Strava
- 1. The extra minutes will show on the map as a straight line — not snapped to roads.

Questions
Is this snapped to roads?
No. It is a straight line from the coordinates you type, or a hold at the first GPS point if you leave them blank.
Do I need GPS on the first record?
If you do not type a start lat/lon, yes. Otherwise the extra minutes have nowhere to stand.
Are original points kept?
Yes. New points are added before the first record.
