FIT to TCX via Garmin Connect loses power data

[Eric Murray]

When I convert .FIT files to .TCX on GarminConnect, GC doesn't
show power data. Is there a way to convert that works?

Garmin still hasn't sent me the FIT SDK. I know a couple
of you guys are working on FIT support... how's it going?

The power data is present in the TCX file but GC doesn't
pick up on it. A sample data point:

<Trackpoint>
<Time>2010-03-06T17:24:38.000Z</Time>
<Position>
<LatitudeDegrees>37.220855243504</LatitudeDegrees>
<LongitudeDegrees>-121.984935477376</LongitudeDegrees>
</Position>
<AltitudeMeters>126.2</AltitudeMeters>
<DistanceMeters>18.52</DistanceMeters>
<HeartRateBpm>
<Value>85</Value>
</HeartRateBpm>
<Cadence>59</Cadence>

<ns3:Watts>120</ns3:Watts>

</Trackpoint>

Just replace all "ns3:" with "" inside all tags like <ns3:TPX>, ...
Then it will do it, have fun!

I was one of the happy guys, this week I found time look through the
specification and the sample cpp code. Based on the sample cpp-code I
wrote a fit to tcx converter.
But, according the license on the sample files I am not allowed to
share that code.
In the tcx file I have now all data like power, speed, position,
distance, altitude, cadence, heartrate, all averages and lap data and
even the temperature for all trackpoints nicely together. This file
imports into GC, without any problem.

Next step would be to include it directly into GC, but that seems
already been done by Sean Rhea, thanks.

Uploaded my file linfit.cpp, which works with the sdk to
