TrainingEnhancer

Enhance training tracks with data from external sources

Motivation

When using Linux TomTom GPS Watch Utilities I noticed that elevation data for TomTom Runner 3 is not stored in exported TCX, CSV nor GPX files. It looks like there is an open deffect for this issue. While waiting for a fix I decided to create simple project to fetch altitude/elevation from external source end enhance XML (TCX and GPX) files with this data. In future I would like to add other data sources and other supported formats to enhance training tracks with more interesting data.
