Hi.

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I have 15 years worth of SportsTracks data with details like location and equipment in addition to the GPS data itself. When I import that into GC, that data appears to be lost. I've tried creating metadata fields in GC using the same names as they appear in the fitlog XML, but that was unsuccessful.

Is it possible to import that metadata? Thanks

Looking at the parser only Source seems to be imported from Metadata.

Do you have a sample file with useful metadata to see if we can add them?

Thanks Ale.

I've attached a small fitlog file. The items that I'm wanting to import (along with the GPS data of course) are things like Location and EquipmentUsed.

Location was imported to the Route tag in SportTrack download, so I did the same for this.
Equipment field is populated with comma separated equipment item names, if they are present.
Route is present in default metadata fields, but Equipment it is not, so it needs to be added.
