Corrupted FIT file

cheese_toastie

I went for a ride recently with my Edge Touring running following a route I was following when suddenly it turned off. I saved the ride to that point as I was near my destination anyway but found later the file wouldn't upload to Garmin Connect because it has been corrupted. I have changed the settings on the Garmin to saving ride data to micro SD card instead of the internal storage so should be okay now, read that info on here.
I tried using http://garmin.kiesewetter.nl/ to fix the corrupted FIT file but it still wont upload. Any other ideas or advice to repair this file? Thanks

I used a piece of software called Fit File Repair Tool (fitfilerepairtool.info) but this is not a free fix - you need to purchase the software.

Strava fixed one of mine. Try emailing them with it

Also try http://www.fitfiletools.com which has managed to repair a few of mine in the past.

Thanks that's fixed it, I had managed to upload to Strava yesterday I think they have an autofix tool, but it's on Garmin Connect also now. Thanks for the help and replies.

Out of interest, which of the FIT FILE Tools did you use to fix the problem?

Do the ride again and upload that, if it's really so important.
