FIT and waypointsFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

So they are in addition to the direction waypoints?  I'm looking for POI waypoints only, so in FIT course file spec speak POI waypoints to be Course Points and everything else to be a record.

Thanks Peter, will take a look

From last week there are a couple of poi's available in fit to put on the route. See this post: https://www.plotaroute.com/mobile/posts/1368/D/1

Can't be used for general poi off route, but for race poi for me, I think they are great.

Just to clarify I'm after POI waypoints rather than directional ones

Thanks, I've tried the FIT file but it gives me turn-by-turn waypoints rather than the ones I defined on the course.  I can see the former being useful for general running, but I want to use the waypoints to define the checkpoints in a race rather than the next turn.

It's better to try to use the fit file format on garmin devices. Ive tested on FR735xt and fenix5x without problems with turn by turn waypoints.

If I use a tool to convert a FIT file I've downloaded from here to a GPX file, it loses the waypoints.  Is this because of the conversion process, or do you strip waypoints out of FIT files?  If not, are they added as course points according to the FIT spec?

Really struggling to get my Garmin Fenix 3 to show waypoints and going to try directly loading a FIT file to see if that works.
