Hey Guys,

I have succesfully converted a FIT TO A CSV using FitCSVTool, now i'm trying to convert it back from a CSV to a FIT and i get the below error

Many Thanks Rob.

C:\\fit\\java>java -jar FitCSVTool.jar -c 3p.csv 3p.fit
FIT CSV Tool 1.0.1.0
CSVReader.read(): Error on line 8 - Unknown field "unknown" in message "device_i
nfo".
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: FIT encoding error.
at com.garmin.fit.csv.CSVTool.main(CSVTool.java:123)

C:\\fit\\java>      

this means that the file contained some unknown/proprietary messages... the conversion tool can decode the FIT file, and will just place "unknown" into the spreadsheet for any fields (or messages) it does not recognise... if you open the .csv file you will see that there is an "unknown" field in the device_info messages...

This will introduce the error when trying to convert csv back to fit as the conversion tool cannot convert "unknown" into something meaningful... this is why the csv to fit conversion failed...      

Hello boucousis,

Appreciate the reply I've removed the unknown line in question and it compiles OK now.

When i upload it to Garmin Connect there isn't any temperature data on it.

I double checked and all the temperature info is in the CSV's but it's still not importing it back into Garmin Connect, I'm not sure at this stage where it is comming undone.

Cheers Rob.
