How to Export Power Data from Garmin Connect

2024-07-10

❌ A common issue users face with Garmin Connect is that exported GPX files are missing power, heart rate, and cadence data. Garmin for some reason doesn't include the data in the GPX file.

✅ The solution is to download the original data file (fit), which contains everything. and then use fit to gpx converter (FIT to GPX Converter).

The Fix: Export the Original FIT File

To get a file with all your performance data, you must download the original FIT file from the Garmin Connect website.

Steps:

1. Log in to the Garmin Connect website (this option is not in the mobile app).
2. Open the activity you want to export.
3. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top right corner.
4. Select "Export Original" from the menu.

This downloads a .fit file containing all your data, including power.

Convert FIT to GPX for Overlays

The FIT file has your data, but you may need to convert it to a data-rich GPX file for use in overlay software. You can use our free FIT to GPX Converter for this.
