ELEMNT, BOLT 1/2, and ROAM 1/2 support file transfer via MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) - a USB standard used by many cameras, MP3 players, and Android phones. Connect an ELEMNT, BOLT, or ROAM that is currently on (not just charging) to your computer via a USB data cable to transfer completed workout files (in FIT format) and/or route files (in GPX or TCX format). When connected via USB, the computer should appear as an external drive location (like a USB flash drive or external hard drive).
Note: Please make sure you are using a USB data cable, as many USB cables only provide charging functionality.
Windows
The ELEMNT, BOLT, or ROAM will automatically show up in Windows Explorer and you can browse and transfer files similar to any other USB flash drive or external hard drive
Note: It may be necessary to copy files onto a PC before uploading to applications like Golden Cheetah. Uploads directly from USB may fail.
Apple Mac (MacOS)
An MTP client app is required to copy files from ELEMNT, (ex. OpenMTP).
Linux
Support for MTP is available via libmtp, which is generally included with popular desktop Linux distributions. On some systems, ELEMNT, BOLT, or ROAM may also appear on your Linux desktop's file manager.
File locations
On the ELEMNT, BOLT, or ROAM, completed rides are written to the exports folder. Routes are stored in the routes folder.
You can identify a completed ride file by the date they were saved. The files are named with a YYYY-MM-DD-... convention. Once you find the correct file, copy/paste or drag it from the computer folder to your desktop. You can then upload the files to Strava, TrainingPeaks, or other 3rd party sites individually.
