How to connect Ride with GPS to FATRACING

FATRACING · Updated

Connect Ride with GPS to open your recorded rides and download FIT files in your FATRACING merchant profile. To connect, you need your regular Ride with GPS account. You don't need to enter API keys.

1. Check your recorded trips

Log in to Ride with GPS and make sure that the necessary trips are saved in your account. Your trip records will appear in FATRACING. The planned route and someone else's trip, which you just opened by clicking on the link, are not included in this list.

2. Connect your account

  1. Log in to FATRACING and open personal account → Settings.
  2. In the block Ride with GPS click "Enable Ride with GPS".
  3. Log in to your account on the Ride with GPS page.
  4. Check the name of the FATRACING app and confirm the access permission.
  5. After returning to the cabinet, check the status "Connected" next to your name.

The Ride with GPS consent page may specify «Read and modify user content» — standard permission of the service to read and change the contents of the account. In this connection, FATRACING reads your trips and downloads files. The format of permissions is described in documentation Ride with GPS.

Open Settings

3. Find a ride and download FIT

  1. Click "To training" or open the "Training" tab.
  2. Find the block "Ride with GPS training". Button "Update" requests the list again.
  3. Check the name, date, distance and duration of the trip.
  4. For old entries, use the buttons "Next" and "Back" under the list. They appear when there are multiple pages.
  5. Click "Download FIT" For the desired trip.

The FIT will get the data that is in the Ride with GPS record. If heart rate, power, or cadence were not recorded, downloading will not add them. The connection does not transfer training plans to a bicycle computer.

If no trips appeared

Start the connection again from the FATRACING settings and complete the access permission in the same browser. Do not leave the consent page open for a long time.
There is a connection, but there is no necessary trip

The service asks you to reconnect

FIT is not downloaded
Check if the ride itself opens in Ride with GPS, update the list and download again. If the error persists, save the date of the trip and the error text for contacting support.
