HI had a trip up Snowden on Friday and wore my Polar SX725 and carried my ancient Garmin 60CSX.

From that I have two files that I would like to merge using the altitude data to align the data.  Problem seems to be that the Polar file has the altitude imported as the "Stress" data. (stress graph is the altitude graph).  When I try to align them the altitude gain isover 50K meters.. and the map shows me cycling to somewhere to central Africa!

If I import them as two separate files all seems OK.. map is of Snowdon GPX file and HR / Time/ Altitude  are OK in HRM file. The ideal way to do this would be align by the altitude series but this just gives me a real mess.  Tried aligning by endpoint same problems.  Cant align from start as did not switch on Polar watch until 15 mins in...

No biig deal are rarely do this but woudl be nice to get it sorted.  Any advise gratefully received

Still trying to get this to work...I have HR file from Tacx TTS4 which has power, HR etc but due to their "new" policy no altitude data is exported.  Have plotted the route in Bikemap then exported as .GPX file.
I goto, Activity, combine activity with my imported Activity entry in GC selected.  Then go through the menus to add data from file to add a data series (I want to add the altitude / slope data from the .GPX file).  As soon as I select that menu option GC crashes.
CR atatched Thanks
