Show Fit File

Description

Show Fit File is a sports & fitness oriented plugin that allows you to add a map and summary exercise data from a fit, gpx or tcx file. The maps are generated using leafletJS with the map tiles provided by OpenStreetMap.

These files are produced by fitness, running and cycling computers, such as Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo and Hammerhead devices. The files can usually be downloaded either directly from the device, or via the manufacturer’s portal.

Both a Gutenberg Block and Shortcode (.fit files only) versions are present in this plugin.

Usage

Block

Add the Show Fit File block to your post

Click on the blue button below the map to upload your .fit , .gpx or .tcx file. After a couple of seconds, your file will then be displayed.

An altitude profile graph will be displayed under the map. This can be hidden using the block controls in the side bar.

Shortcode

Upload the .fit file to your Media Library, then simply create a map from the file by adding the following ShortCode to your post:

[showfitfile file=”2019-06-16-10-48-12.fit”]

To change the units to Imperial (default is metric):

[showfitfile file=”2019-06-16-10-48-12.fit” units = “imperial”]

To change the route colour (default is ‘Red’):

[showfitfile file=”2019-06-16-10-48-12.fit” colour = “blue”]

To allow scrolling and zooming of the map (default is ‘no’)

[showfitfile file=”2019-06-16-10-48-12.fit” interactive = “yes”]

Icon

The icon uses Map by Atif Arshad from the Noun Project https://thenounproject.com/browse/icons/term/map/

FAQ

What’s the difference between moving time & duration?

Moving time is the time you actually spent moving during your session, while duration is the time from the start to the finish, including any stops or pauses. If you stop to take a photo or for a quick coffee, that time won’t be included in moving time.

It’s worth noting that, depending on the setup of your device, you may not see much difference between Moving Time and Duration, particularly if your device is set to auto-pause.
