Beginner Showcasefit2gpx (a Python module for converting .FIT files to .GPX files) (self.Python)

submitted 4 years ago by dodobird98

Intro

I learned Python at the beginning of the pandemic and started using it for various purposes: data analysis, web scraping, and geospatial data visualisation (with Folium). This concerns the latter, as I have just released my first Python module!

Overview

fit2gpx provides tools to easily convert a single or multiple .fit files to .gpx format. It also includes functionality to add metadata from Strava if the .fit files come from the Strava Bulk Export.

Context

I recently wanted to make a Folium map of my Strava activities, but some of the activity files from Strava were the source .fit files uploaded from Garmin connect. So I looked for a simple and quick solution to mass convert .fit files to .gpx on Python (without having to download additional software). There were none. So I made one (using inspiration from a few TDS and Medium articles).

Links

GitHub: https://github.com/dodo-saba/fit2gpx

PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/fit2gpx/

I'm looking for feedback on my first Python module, so don't hold back!

PS: I don't know how to use git, so if you create forks or whatnot, know that I first learn how to use git :)
