Hi

Is there any way to change the sub_sport field into a .fit file generated by Karoo 2?. I am trying to modify it with the Garmin SDK exporting .fit file to a csv, modifying and then exporting the .csv to .fit but I have always error to export .fit file

There are no way Karoo 2 save a mountain bike activity as mountain bike activity, it saves as cycling (road, or generic) activity

It will be better Karoo 2 creates a profile for Road Bike (sub_sport 0) and another one to mountain (sub_sport 8)
Thanks

  Configuring the right sub-activity would be a nice addition to the profiles!

  Not sure if this of any help, but if you are changing the sub-activity for Strava you can probably do this by creating a rule with https://www.activityfix.com/

  Good try Michiel, but unfortunately Strava only changes the sub sport type for UI purposes, it doesn´t change the sub_sport value into the .fit file....

  I don´t understand how in Karoo 2 you can´t config the sub_sport type (mountain bike, ride, indoor...)

  Thanks

  Come on Hammerhead. It's not difficult to implement choice of 'sub_sport'. Your profiles already have Ride Upload Type, BUT you don't actually write this into the FIT file. Instead, you write 'generic' (0).

  Who needs to be sent a cup of coffee to spend an hour writing this into the next version? I'll give you a head start. Instead of being lazy and only writing 0, allow profiles to write 6, 7, and 8 and link it to Ride Upload Type already in your programming.

  • SUB_SPORT_GENERIC     0
  • SUB_SPORT_INDOOR_CYCLING     6
  • SUB_SPORT_ROAD     7
  • SUB_SPORT_MOUNTAIN     8

  Come on Hammerhead, it is a well needed update! The proper classification of road, mountain bike, etc. rides in the .fit allow to properly classify the workouts and track different gear usage through third parties applications.
