NAME

fit2tcx.pl - script to convert a FIT file to a TCX file

SYNOPSIS

fit2tcx -show_version=1
fit2tcx [ options ] $FIT_activity_file [ $new_filename ]

DESCRIPTION

fit2tcx.pl reads the contents of a $FIT_activity_file and converts it to correspoding TCX format. If <$new_filename> is provided, writes the resulting TCX content to it, otherwise prints the content to standard output.

Options

-tplimit = number

tries to limit the number of trackpoints to number.

-must = list

specifies a comma separated list of TCX elements which must be included in trackpoints.

fit2tcx convert each record message to a trackpoint in TCX format, examines whether or not any of the elements in the list are defined, and drop the trackpoint if not.

Some map services seem to require a TCX file created with -must=Time,Position option.

-tpexclude = list

specifies a comma separated list of TCX elements which should be excluded from Trackpoint elements in TCX file.

For instance, with -tpexclude = AltitudeMeters option, fit2tcx makes a TCX file including no altitude data in Trackpoints.

-include_creator = 0

specifies that a Creator section should be excluded.

-lap = list

specifies a comma separated list of lap indices (0, 1, ...) which should be included in TCX file.

Each element of list must be of the form index or start-end.

index is treated as an abbreviation of index-index.

start-end implies that only laps with indices >= start and <= end, should be included in TCX file.

start or end may be one of an empty string, asterisc (*), or the word ALL, which are treated as 0 when used as start, or 65534 when used as end.

For instance, any of -lap=-, -lap=*, or -lap=all is treated as -lap=0-65534.

-tpmask = list

specifies a colon or space separated list of regions, in which trackpoinsts must be excluded from TCX file.

A region must be a comma separated quadruple of the form lat_sw,long_sw,lat_ne,long_ne. lat_* must be degrees of latitudes, and long_* must be degrees of longitudes. Suffices _sw and _ne stand for "south west" and "north east", respectively.

Trackpoints in the "rectangle" (including borders) enclosed with paralles and meridians determined by the above latitudes and longitudes, are not written to TCX file.

-show_version = 1

shows the version string of this program, and exits.

-verbose = 1

shows FIT file header and trailing CRC information on stdout.

Per user configuration file .fit2tcx.pl

fit2tcx.pl evaluates the contents of the file .fit2tcx.pl in your home directory if it exists, before starting conversion. So, in the file, you can set appropriate values to scalar variables of the same names of the above options with leading hyphens removed, and will get the same effects as giving the command line options.
