Race S – Missing part of GPS track during bike ride
-
Hi everyone,
I went on a bike ride today using my Suunto Race S. Unfortunately, a large part of the route was not recorded — only the beginning and the end of the activity show up in the Suunto app, but the middle section is missing.
GPS signal seemed fine during the ride, and I didn’t pause the activity.I was riding with a friend, and I have the complete GPX file from their device. Is there any way to use it to correct or complete my activity in the Suunto app?
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any tips on how to fix or manually edit the track?
Thanks in advance for your help!

this representation I only know from pausing the activity.
so maybe it was paused non-deliberately…I don’t really have a idea how to integrate data from others into this recording.
you could possibly insert the whole activity from someone else by exporting and importing it. -

It’s possible that I accidentally paused the activity without noticing — although that would be a bit surprising, since I was actively using the watch for navigation during the ride.
What I’d really like is to be able to edit the existing activity (the one recorded by my watch) to fill in the missing part using the GPX file from my friend, rather than creating a completely new activity.
That way, I can keep the effort, stats, and heart rate data from my original recording, while correcting the route.Has anyone managed to do something like that with the Suunto app or via a third-party tool?
Thanks again!

@christsas just editing the route would mean to make up data for the missing section. Including time stamps, sensor data etc.
If you just edit the track, everything else will be shifted.
You can try reading about the FIT file format and think about how to add lines there. -

Even if I manage to edit the FIT file and recreate the missing section with realistic timestamps and data:
How could I then import that modified activity back into the Suunto app so it replaces (or updates) the original one?
As far as I know, the Suunto app doesn’t allow importing custom or external activities directly.If there’s any workaround to re-integrate a corrected FIT file into my activity history, I’d be very interested to hear it.
Thanks again for your help!

@christsas yes, you can connect your Suunto account to Runalyze and then use their services to upload a fit tile into Suunto
