What this format is

Puts several activities in one GPX file, each as its own track. Useful when a device split a long day into pieces.

How to get the file

  1. From Garmin Connect
  2. 1. Export each activity as GPX or FIT, then drop them together.
  1. From Strava
  2. 1. Export each activity, or convert a bulk zip first and pick the files you want.

Questions

Does order matter?

Yes. Each file becomes its own track, in the list order. Use the arrows to reshuffle before you run.

Can I mix FIT and GPX?

Yes. FIT and TCX are converted on the way in, then merged as GPX tracks.

Is it one continuous activity?

It is one file with several tracks. Apps that read the first track only will not stitch the day together — use Combine FIT for that.
