Garmin

My Work on using Garmin in PostGIS and QGIS

Intro

If you use a Garmin activity tracker, like a sports watch, and have a Garmin connect account, then you can ask Garmin for a dump of all your data. Follow the instructions for ‘export all garmin data via account management center‘ I tried this and found the results a mass of folders and files. I don’t really want to request this everytime I want to look at my data and and don’t want to do it on an activity by activity basis. Fortunately there is a really useful GitHub repo that gives me everything I want called garmin-connect-export.
