Hi
Do you know if there is any tools that convert bdx files to a gpx format? I have a Bryton Rider50 gps and use the data on Strava.
With new bike tours I store the Rider50 data direct into a gpx file, so in that case no problem to import them into Strava.
In the past I used the BrytonSport site that had a couple of conversion options but with the new BrytonActive site this is not possible anymore and BrytonSport is on silence since a couple of weeks.
I have around 15 bdx files that I can't import into Strava. Unfortunately I deleted the historic files on Rider50.
Look forward to hear if there is any solution. Thanks!

    Just search the internet for a free conversion program. There's stacks out there.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    Hi philthy3,
    Thanks for your reply. I have already searched a lot on internet, but unfortunately haven't found anything yet.
    Any tips/hints are appreciated....

    You may have to look at converting to something else and then onto gpx. You might lose some of the data in the process though. Sounds like Bryton haven't thought this through.

    I must first say that, I have no idea if this will actually work, but...
    From Bryton Bridge you could import a track to the device, in this case your .bdx file, then try exporting it from the device as a .gpx

    The new Bryton training centre absolutely sucks, though. You're right there.

  • Hi SCR Pedro
    That's indeed what I do now: both saving the bdx and gpx files via the Bryton bridge. That works fine.
    It's just the approx. 15 historic files that I only have in bdx format that I'd like to convert to gpx and load in Strava.

    I have a ready reckoner and some logarithm tables for all the more aged riders (myself included) who haven't got a clue what this thread is all about!!

  • Hi tourdriving, thanks for your reply! I'm going to try this :D
  • I already found a solution by searching around in the web:

    It's possible to select a bdx file and convert the file to a gpx format. The site returns a gpx file which can be saved on your local drive. The gpx file can be loaded in Strava.
