Merge activities that are the same

Feature Requests

I would like to be able to merge activities so that two files that contain information about the same effort are combined into one.

Use-case: I record heart rate, GPS, etc using my Garmin watch. My Bosch e-bike records GPS and the power that I output on the bike. Hence two activities are imported to intervals and, as of today, not combined.

Thx.

Merging 2 files both with GPS data is a nightmare. It takes
You request has been asked before on this forum and it might seem ‘easy’ and straightforward from your POV, but technically it is very difficult.
There will be some sort of merge in the (near) future in Intervals, but it will probably only handle limited cases.

I will be looking forward to such a functionality then, and hope it will cover my needs.

Broadcast HR to your e-bike?

Yes that is possible. But then I do not get other relevant data from the watch such as breathing.

All those extra fields are a challenge when developing a merger. There exist numerous dev fields in FIT files. That’s one of the reasons why merging 2 FIT files is much more complicated then most people are aware of.
If you would like to experiment a bit or read about all the possible things that can go wrong, checkout Help with Combine FIT, GPX, CSV, or TCX files for Strava Upload Tool - GOTOES Strava Tools Forum
FWIW, I use ‘gotoes’ to do the merging outside of Intervals. It does a decent job but off course requires manual intervention. Having something fully automated in Intervals would be very welcome, but we must be realistic and understand that maintenance of such a merger tool is a job on its own.
