GPX is ideal for route geometry and broadly compatible timestamps. If you only have a FIT file, export or convert it to GPX before importing it into TrailReplay.
Common questions
Does this work with Garmin watches and bike computers?
Yes. If the recorded activity appears in Garmin Connect and can be exported as GPX, TrailReplay can import it.
Do I need to install software?
No. TrailReplay runs in a modern desktop browser.
Can I add photos to a Garmin route replay?
Yes. Photos can be positioned using GPS or timestamps when metadata is available, or placed manually.
