fandacious Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Whats the simplest way to get gpx files of rides off the device? At the moment I have to use the stupid bryton bridge to upload to brytonsport.com, then go view the ride and manually export a GPX file
divernick Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 AFAIK that's the only way. Wish I could do it via Strava instead, or just dump the TCX file from the device to my laptop.....
Iron Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 thats crazey , with my garmin i can upload straight to where ever i want , strava ect . why do you need to do this with a bryton , there must be a way they so similar.
rouxtjie Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Also thought it was standard on the Bryton's, so if you want to upload your data into any 3rd party software or site you must first upload it to Bryton's site and then export from there. Eish.
RocknRolla Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) garmin connect accepts tcx, gpx and .fit files. but this is the same as uploading to brytonsport. am i understanding your problem correctly? you want to download the gpx file from your gps, in order to view it in mapsource? according to my limited knowledgeof windoze (no mac experience), you should be able to see the gps when connected to your pc, in the file explorer of your pc. in the gps folder there should be a folder where the tracks are saved. from there you can copy and paste into another folder on your computer. in order to view this file you would require a viewer like mapsource. online verions are garmin connect ( no mapsource required)brytonsport - probably the same as garmin connect, but bryton propriety... hope this helps...typing is not a strongpoint. <edit: various typo's> Edited July 30, 2012 by RocknRolla

rouxtjie Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 except there are no gpx files on the device. its stored in some proprietary format which is only accessible from bryton bridgeMaybe there is a converter of some sort you can download that will get it to a gpx at least. Long shot
RocknRolla Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 except there are no gpx files on the device. its stored in some proprietary format which is only accessible from bryton bridge ahh I see. next step would be (although this may become a bit fiddly, is to download a program called GPS babel.ideally you should be able to open the proprietry file (if it is on GPS babel's list of supported files) and save it to the format you require if you want i can upload the gps babel (the whole file is about 3mb)and you can have a look.
fandacious Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Time to buy a Garmin  I had an edge 705 which went missing last week. Insurance paid out and I decided to replace with bryton rider 50... starting to regret it
RocknRolla Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 give GPS babel a try:Â https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0VvPYSUYgVDcUVHdXByZ0VaRkU
fandacious Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 give GPS babel a try:Â https://docs.google....cUVHdXByZ0VaRkUÂ Yeh i downloaded from gps babel website, but it doesnt appear to support bryton
Iron Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 I had an edge 705 which went missing last week. Insurance paid out and I decided to replace with bryton rider 50... starting to regret it oh crap , sorry dude .
fandacious Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 damn... sorry, cant help any further... no worries - thanks for the effort. Just frikking annoying that they're tying you into a proprietary format
Tankman Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 You are screwed Fand! Bryton went and created their own new file system. It is called .btx or some of the other I forget.It won't be viewable if you connect the unit to your pc. It is also not compatible with most 3rd party software like SportTracks, Endomondo and obviously not Garmin Trying Centre. You have to convert the file before you can do anything with it.  You're lost with it!Â
