File extension .TCX
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Garmin Training Center Database XML Format | Garmin | Data Files |
The TCX file extension is associated with a .TCX Training Center Database file. The TCX files store structured data which can be read both by applications, such as Garmin Training Center (GTC), and web services, such as Garmin Connect. The file typically accompanies the transfer of GPS data which have been collected for GPS-enabled sport-tracking activities.
The TCX files offer a range of information relevant to users training activities, such as lap data, heart rate data, and speed data. Together with GPS coordinates, this data can be used to follow user progress on a map or generate user performance and sport tracking analytics. These files can also be using on MapMyRun to display a route of the user's activity on the website.
In addition to the major function provided by the TCX format, these files may also store additional data such as cadence and/or power generated during workouts. Some applications and sites may offer the option to export into.GPX and other formats for further processing. Other similar file extensions to the .TCX format include TCG, .TCC, .FIT, .GPX, and others.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TCX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TCX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TCX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TCX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TCX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TCX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TCX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TCX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TCX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TCX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
