Thing with the F3 is it has so many variants, I suspect.

mbln Jul 2016 12:42pm, 4 Jul 2016 809 posts	Quote Pin mbln I've just tried importing the fit file directly, and it shows no route data either. I'm out of touch with the inner workings - does this mean it didn't record one, or is there (should there be??) a tcx file to accompany it?
Molesy Jul 2016 1:15pm, 4 Jul 2016 3,019 posts	Quote Pin Molesy The watch records a .fit file, the old importer used to generate a .tcx from that but I don't believe Garmin Express does that anymore.
mbln Jul 2016 1:56pm, 4 Jul 2016 810 posts	Quote Pin mbln Thanks Molesy. Just updated to 7.2 - odd as I thought I already had. Will try it again this evening. Or should I just turn gps off and on again to make sure it's set?
