What's new in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 2.07
Feb 1, 2024
- New feature: TCX Import Distance Meters smoothing
- Several UI Improvements
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 2.05 (Mar 23, 2021)
- New Features in current version:
- Merge Mode "Import Distance": much more accurate record merging for e.g. virtual trainings or if activity recording was done without GPS information in general.
- "GPS Multi-Merged Records" adjustment incl. interpolation feature: export all input data records while still avoiding unsteady GPS locations. And therefore can lead to better speed values in target applications.
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 2.04 (May 21, 2018)
- Possibility to use GPS- adjustments also for TCX files.
- In Data View window, cells with an adjusted GPS value get now highlighted in yellow.
- GPX- and TCX- files get now exported without unnecessary line break- and blank- characters and so file size is reduced significantly. There is a new preference "Expand XML" for switching this on again in case desired.
- Bugfix: The help in console mode showed a wrong name for parameter "-impdp".
- A few other small improvements and adjustments.
- Improved compatibility for HRM exports (e.g. PPT5 when including Power values, HRM Profil).
- Minor improvement when loading power values out of HRM files: not necessarily additional data respectively column for Power LR Balance- and Power Pedalling Index values get created in case power values are available only.
- Updated file name extension of batch generated output files, reflecting the meanwhile changed application name.
- A few internal adaptions due to meanwhile depreciated Java API used.
- Applications requires now at least Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) Release 6 or higher installed.
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 2.01 (Apr 27, 2017)
- Enhanced functionality:
- TCX file import: support for many additional heart rate monitors and fitness trackers
- (e.g. Garmin, latest Polar devices)
- NMEA (.log, .nmea) file import: support for GPS featured photo and action cams (e.g.
- Canon, Sony)
- Export of unmerged file data to all output formats (e.g. HRM-only data to GPX or TCX)
- Import, view and export additional data (e.g. TCX exercise header information)
- Additional preferences
- Further improvements and goodies (e.g. performance, distance/speed calculation,
- track-/waypoint- matching)
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 1.05 (Sep 7, 2015)
- Default Export GPX Time Zone is now UTC accordingly to GPX standard.
- However, default Import GPX Time Zone stays "Local" as this is the correct setting for Polar files though not following the standard. In case of GPX files are taken from a different source it's likely the Import GPX Time Zone needs to be switched to "UTC".
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 1.04 (Oct 10, 2014)
- Improved GPX input file special character import.
- Possibility to filter out or interpolate GPS records/values in case of latitude and longitude is zero.
- Possibility to define default import- and export- directories within Preferences.
- Bugfix: under certain circumstances some GPX file header metadata contents could get loaded out of the wrong GPX metadata tag in case the tag's name was similar (and e.g. belonged to a different mother tag)
- Enhanced GPX file size limit which allows now to import about at least 10 hours of one-second-interval-records along with full trackpoint information. A warning message will appear in case of no GPX end tag could get read and something possibly is incomplete.
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 1.02 (Jun 30, 2014)
- Console Mode and batch operations: execute conversions out of the command line interface without using the GUI.
- View Data window now also shows columns for GPX HR, Speed, Cadence and Temperature if data is included in the GPX input file.
- Enhanced GPX file import: speed, special character handling, improved tolerance for noncompliant or even corrupt XML/GPX file contents
- GPX Header CSV export includes now also exercise name, description and author name.
- General changes in application design for improved separation of application logic and GUI.
New in JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool 1.01 (Oct 15, 2013)
- Improved TCX file export (e.g. files are now compatible with Strava.com)
- Import Heart Rate-, Speed-, Cadence- and Temperature- data also out of GPX files.
- Possibility to export these instead of the HRM file values.
- Possibility to export unmerged GPX file data into GPX or TCX files (e.g. to just
- remove certain information from GPX files like Timestamps, Heart Rate, ...)
- Possibility to export data without timestamp information
