Import Computrainer / Racermate Data

[Tim Byrnes]

When I import Racermate .3dp performance files into GC, the route doesn't show up, there is nothing under MAP and the elevation gain is more than 10 times what Racermate shows.  Not sure how to get GPS data into GC from Racermate.

GPS data is not imported from 3dp files (https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/cabe078453cbe8e136b8adf8d4187a5be878671b/src/FileIO/Computrainer3dpFile.cpp#L298), I don’t know if is present since some undocumented data is ignored: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/blob/cabe078453cbe8e136b8adf8d4187a5be878671b/src/FileIO/Computrainer3dpFile.cpp#L225

First time using "google groups" so not sure exactly how or who I respond to.  I hope I don't screw things up by posting message and it opens a new thread.

Anyway, let's assume that .3dp files don't have GPS info. Which I'm pretty sure is the case as I also converted to a .tcx file use Perfpro Analyzer and tried to import into Strava and Garmin Connect and GPS info did not show up either.  So I guess my basic question is, is there anyway to get GPS data from Computrainer/Racermate to load into GC (and associated with a certain performance/activity) ?

There is also the issue of "climbing".  The import from Racermate (both 3dp and same file converted to .fcx show over 34,000 feet of climbing and I know it's actually less than 2,500 feet.  Very strange.

I don't know, I still have a Computrainer, but I have not used its software anymore for years, I don't even know if it still runs on my current setup.

You can use GoldenCheetah Train mode to control the Computrainer, v3.6 supports simulation rides with GPS data from GPX and JSON files, with or without videosync, and the map will be available in realtime and for posterior analysis, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-TRAIN

You can check the altitude data in Ride Editor, also see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-METRICS#Why-is-elevation-different-in-GoldenCheetah-to-my-other-training-software--website
