Description:

Many sports- and map-applications require activity information within a certain format (e.g. GPX, TCX or HRM). However, often heart rate monitor data and GPS data is recorded in a different format or even separate data files which must be merged into one (e.g. HRM and GPX files recorded in parallel).

JW HRM-GPX-TCX Tool merges and converts HRM (Polar Heart Rate Monitor), TCX (Garmin Training Center), GPX and NMEA files with and into each other for further usage with such applications.
Additionally, it provides solutions for typical data adjustment challenges going along with that.

Please take a look into the manual for further information and a description of the features in detail.

The application is optimized to its special purpose and offers more functionality and adjustment features than probably any other comparable application.

The application is a major enhancement of the previous JW HRM & GPX Tool.
It runs on multiple platforms like Windows, Mac or Linux given that Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. No advertising is included and no internet access is used or even required.

Features

Import data: HRM-, GPX-, TCX- and NMEA- (.log and .nmea as used by some photo- and action- cams like those from Canon or Sony) files incl. header information, lap times/waypoints, track records. Support for many devices and applications like those of Polar (e.g. Polar ProTrainer and Polar Flow) and Garmin.
View data: Header information, lap times/waypoints, track records, merged record data, calculated and basic statistics (e.g. distance, net training time, average speed).
Export data: Header information, lap times/waypoints and track records to CSV-, GPX-, TCX- or HRM- files. Beside merged data also unmerged data can be exported if e.g. only certain information shall be removed from a GPX file or it shall be just converted into a different file format. Even HRM-only data can be exported to GPX- and TCX- files, or vice versa.
Complete offline solution: No usage of internet at all. Means complete functionality also without internet access, no privacy-issues (e.g. uploading data to somewhere) and no security-concerns due to an internet connection.
Several preferences for data im- and export (e.g. time zone settings, data field in-/exclusion settings) as well as time adjustments for synchronization and correction purposes.
GPS Adjustments: Possibility to filter out or interpolate GPS Latitude/Longitude data with zero values or resulting in unrealistic local peaks of speed (e.g. due to bad satellite connection).
Multiple merge modes (by time, distance, record) incl. GPS stretching/shrinking functionality: e.g. for usage of external GPS information, or such of a different exercise, like done in virtual trainings.
Pause times recognition and removal: Real performance data considering pause times during recording also in target applications (especially along with file formats like HRM).
Console mode and batch operations: Execute conversions out of the command line interface without using the GUI. Possibility to process whole directories and sub-directories automatically.
File Repair: Application might be able to import also files that are often rejected by other applications because they don’t meet strict (XML-) standards, are incomplete or corrupt.
