About the FIT format

FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) is a compact binary format by Garmin. Watches and bike computers write one FIT file per activity, with GPS points, time, speed and data from heart-rate, cadence and power sensors.

FIT files cannot be opened in a text editor or a map program. Converting FIT to GPX gives a track that any app, map or website can load; KML shows it in Google Earth and CSV turns the points into a table. Convert.Online reads FIT but does not write it.
