Hello again Christian,
Let me explain a bit what I'm trying to do, and why I was disurbing you...
I'm using a Garmin Forerunner 310XT; to prepare and plan more precisely my trainings, I use an external tool (Course Generator) to define precisely a course and the speed of sub parts of the course to be more realistic (ie, do not use an average speed but instead define a speed for each specific path, depending on the terrain or steep or...). Then I upload the course (as a TCX) into Garmin Connect, which is the tool to use to upload data to my device... And then I can play de course on my device: no problem...
Except that the Virtual Partner (a small guy picture displayed on the screen to monitor where I am: ahead, behind, the plan) does not start!!
So I was assuming it was because of the speed data, not present in my TCX (and I was trying to use RouteConverter to compute and add the speed into the TCX file...). I assume it is required, but it is not sufficient: some heading tags (ie TotalTimeSeconds / DistanceMeters / MaximumSpeed) may also be effective (whereas initially I had non sense values) to let my Virtual Partner function...
In short, yes it would be nice if the speed extension could be added to the TCX export; but I'm afraid on my side I then will have to do some other investigations...
Hope this clarifies a bit,
Best regards,
Seb
