Using Motoactv with Strava, Endomondo, Mapmyride, Mapmyrun, Runkeeper and more


One of the dificulties that Motoactv owners  expirience is its unability to import your workouts into a different fitness Manager website such as Strava, endomondo, Map my Run, Map my ride, Runkeeper etc. The reason for this is because the Motoactv records its workouts in a .csv format when most of the fitness websites allow you to import workouts in .tcx format which happens to be a very common format with fitness monitors. It is for that reason that Motoactv workouts cant be imported into the more advanced, feature rich fitness websites.

But not to worry I will not leave you there.

I spend a good amount of time on the Motoactv forums and came across a gentleman by the username of intermanaut that has created a webpage that allows you to convert those pesky .csv files into .tcx files. I do want to thank Intermanaut for the hard work this might have taken.

To do this:

1. Login into your Motoactv.com and select workouts.

2. Select the workout stats tab and click on download.

3. Save file in a folder that you know you will remember because you will need it for this next step.

Click or enter this as your URL: http://dev.zinu.co.uk/MotoActv/

Enter the file you want to convert into TCX

4. Log into your preferred fitness Manager ( Strava.com!) and import the TCX file that you just converted and Voila! like magic. Your workout is imported into your preferred website.

Like i said earlier it is unfortunate that the motoactv cannot be imported into other websites. I am sure that it is something that is being worked on. But until they figure that out we can all use this tool.
