Create GPX Tracks on the watch and reuse them - Amazfit

When I went through the threads in the forum I thought it is not possible to use the tracking data on the watch as GPX data without the help of the mobile or other external Apps.
In fact it is quite easy to do this with the watch only thus you can re-use already tracked trails or routes and redo them. The integrated Sport App will show always if you are on track.
Steps to Do within Sport App:
Open Sport App
Got to "Activities" and select a specific trail track and open (with a left swipe) the "Route" and push "Export"
Now your formerly tracked route is stored in gpx format in directory /Internal Storage/gpxdata (on the watch)
Go to "Settings" and select "Sport Trail" and select the trail you want to show in your activity
Now you can start a new activity e.g. "Trail Run" and it will show inline the selected gpx route
Of course if you have gpx routes downloaded from web you can put them directly, e.g. via explorer from PC, to /Internal Storage/gpxdata too.
It looks like below when you are on running track following the GPX route and you never get lost again

Using firmware 1.3.5 with included Sport App.
PS: I like the Sports App in specfic the GPS tracking on the watch very much. It would be even greater if the Zoom (+/- buttons) good be configured or at least set in smaller steps. Currently it jumps form 50m, 200m, 2km, 5km More intermediate steps would be very helpful e.g. 50m, 100m, 200m, 500m, 1km, 2km, 5km, 10km

DOWNLOAD HERE
it's a pretty good application. i used it already a lot. it allows to create tracks online, load track on mobile and cache the needed map tiles as long as you're online, such that you can navigate without needing a connection later...
online-representation is here: http://gps-tracks.com
oh, sorry. i didn't know there was an application of the same name. this is an application i wrote with the same name (unfortunately)
really? i'm so sorry, i didn't clearly read your post and followed your hyperlink, but just completed it with my post and the url to the "other" GPS Tracks...
i'm sorry I didn't realize...!
what will you do now?

[Q] Pinpoint & save GPS location

Hello,
I am looking for an app, which could get and save my current location provided by GPS sensor. Sure, there are Google Maps, but i can't save my position from there.
Gps status is another great example, but there's no way to export it in some file directly. It gives me coordinates in text format, then I have to open Google Earth, create pin and enter coordinates.
I would like to have something, that would allow me to save coordinates along with specified name. For exaxmple:
I get current position, provide name: "My House", and it would export the coordinates to file named My House.txt, which would contain cordinates.
Or even better, if it were able to export KMZ / KML files for Google Earth directly.
What's my reason to this ?
I am seasonal diver, and most of the time, I dive from the boat - I would like to "bookmark" my location and then, later at home I would like to check, where exactly the boat parked on the sea / where was I diving.
Do you know any app of this kind ?
PS: it is very important for me. I am leaving for my holiday in 2 days.
Many thanks.
You may try Share my position : https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=location&fdid=net.sylvek.sharemyposition&fdpage=2 and maybe send an SMS to yourself ?
After some Play Store research, I have come to this.
So if anyone interested, check out this play store link.
It does everything, what I need. Get GPS, save it and then export in various formats - sql, csv, kml, gpx.

S Health issues - gpx export, step length

I am running stock S Health application, regularly updated via Play store.
All of a sudden I can't export .gpx file from my cycling session. After pressing Export as gpx file I get notified that the workout was exported, but there is no file in My Files. I tried denying storage permissions in settings and then enabling it back, but that doesn't help.
The other issue is with the step counter. It is extremely precise at counting steps, but the conversion from steps to kilometers is completely wrong (almost double of the real value). Is there a way to calibrate or adjust the length of a step?
Thanks for help!

Amazfit BIP - How to export GPS tracing ? (iOS or Android)

Hi everybody from Quebec city
My Bip watch is is with firmware 0.1.0.86
How could I show the record tracking on my walking on Google earth or other ?
I'm on Mac and I have a android phone to "sync" with Mi-Fit and Notify & Fitness app install
(android 5.X)
You can export the .tcx file on Notify and Fitness app, then import it into whatever mapping software you want.
How?
Seem we have many version of Notify and Fitness. What is the version I need and where do I "extract" GPS tracking ?
Thanks in advance

You sadly can´t - so I sold my iPhone X and bought an Android phone
Now I can sync any TCX file with or without GPS to Endomondo etc. or directly to Strava from Notify & Fitness and from there automatically to most other platforms through the website Tapiriik.
FREE
I guess everybory already spent their money on the Notify and Fitness Pro.
But for those who want to know, i have found a Free Way.
Install these apps: Gadgetbridge and GPX Viewer.
In Gadgetbridge you will open the activity and choose the GPX Viewer.
And that's it. Now your .gpx file is in the GPX Viewer folder.
(Gadgetbridge is still a work in progress, but i succeeded here)
Hi,
for those using Notify & Fitness. I also use this app, but I have observed a problem in the 1st km statistics when running. Strava will show between 30-40 seconds less for first km compared to what the watch shows, or what you can see in Mi Fit or Notify.
When I export activity to tcx file, I see that first tracking points, aproximately first 200-300 meters, always has same time stamp, and that is causing problems in Strava. So far I dont know if this is a problem of how Notify & Fitness export data, or is the watch that is doing it wrong, any idea?
Thanks
iPhone/ iPad supported !

Found 'AmazTools' in the Apple App store recently, and it works well on latest BIP s/w version !! Including GPX/ Strava/ loads of WatchFaces, and extra button functions. Give it a try!

Thanks, it's still working, but I had to set in Mi Fit my Amazfit Bip as visible BT device, then pairing with Gadgetbridge was ok.

Trying N&T i get a slight difference, here are stats :
- mi fit : 3.87kms / 14min43sec
- N&T : 3.88kms / 15min03sec
- Strava : 3.87kms / 14min17sec
Haven't much other tracks, i'll try, is it alike what you experienced..?

Thanks in advance for insight

Hello @Vinicius_Gonzo
That kind of offset : see attachment
I didn't used gpx viewer but took directly gpx file from Android/data/ee.aegrel.gadgetbridge/files
Thx
Hi,
What's the easiest way to export GPS data to a PC? I have Android phone, not iOS.
Also, how long will be battery last with GPS recording? What's the record frequency (1 pt per second, etc)? And how much data can it hold (e.g. 10 hours)?
Thanks
Hi, have you found a solution? I will only use gadgetbridge and not mi-fit (data-collector)
Hi !! Have you try to use ZEPP App for connect AMAZFIT BIT to Strava ??
Thanks for the tip, it works just fine, I have a question though: the workouts in Gadgetbridge are all off by 1 hour, so my Strava runs aren't in sync with my friend' tracks, have you met this isuue?

Help! Double GPX track view

hello all, I have a Stratos with the official english version. Last OTA updated. (original is the chinese version)
the problem appears when I use a downloaded GPX track, I open and follow it but the screen appears duplicated. Also the new track drawed on it appears double.... and the grid... and the scale... as you can see in the picture...
But, when I reuse a track created with the watch it doent happen this "double view"
I use this option a lot, is the most important for me..
Maybe some bug after updating due to corrupted data, you can try to fix it by erasing all data on watch and make sure you start fresh:
1. Unpair the watch while it's connected to phone so all data will be erased;
2. Logout from Amazfit app the close it, open and login again;
3. Pair watch again but do NOT restore old data.
Then restart watch and copy your GPX data back to it. You can also check if the GPX file is OK by importing it to some other service like:

ok i will try, thank you very much
I had the same problem, I found that the problem is the size of the track name defined inside the gpx file with the label <name><\name>. I calculated that if it has more than 32 characters it generates a second line in the name inside the track visualiser and did this double track effect.
The solution, a little bit annoying... Open the gpx with code editor or txt editor, reduce the name and save it before upload the gpx file to the watch
