NEW: FIT File Exports
You can now export your sessions as a FIT file, straight from the Hoolan iPhone app. It's free, it takes a couple of taps, and it works whether you track your wingfoil, kitesurf, windsurf, parawing or sailing sessions on Apple Watch or Garmin.
FIT is the format we'd recommend whenever you want to take your session data outside of Hoolan, especially if you're posting a session to a speed leaderboard.
Why FIT instead of GPX?
GPX is still great for sharing a route or dropping a track into another app. But a GPX file is plain text, so anyone can open it in a text editor or GPX editing app and nudge a point, trim a spike or change a timestamp.
A FIT file is a compact binary format, the standard used by Garmin and many other sports watches. You can't just open it and tweak the numbers. To edit one, you'd normally have to convert it into another format first.
That makes FIT the file to reach for when the numbers matter:
Posting to speed leaderboards. A FIT file is much harder to tamper with, so it's the most widely accepted format for leaderboard submissions.
Analysing your riding in other tools. FIT is widely supported by sports and GPS analysis software, and it carries extra detail, such as your watch model.
How to export a FIT file from the Hoolan iPhone app
1. Open the Hoolan iPhone app and tap the session you want to export.
2. On the Session Details screen, tap ••• in the top right.
3. Tap Export, then choose FIT file.
4. Save it to Files, AirDrop it, email it, or upload it straight to the site you're using.
More ways to export your sessions on iPhone
FIT joins the existing GPX and Send to Strava export options, so there are now several ways to get your sessions out of the Hoolan iPhone app.
