Every other app and bike computer: Huawei, Amazfit, adidas Running, TrainingPeaks, Bryton, Hammerhead and the rest
The apps that do not have their own guide, in one place: Huawei Health's Export route, Zepp's per-activity FIT, and where the export usually sits on adidas Running, TrainingPeaks, Bryton, Hammerhead, Outdooractive and Bikemap.
Most platforms have the same three buttons under different names, and the app version usually hides them. This guide is the ones without a page of their own. The rule for all of them: open the activity on the website if there is one, and look in its menu for *Export*, *Download* or *Share as file*.
Huawei Health
From Huawei's support page: Health → Exercise records → open an outdoor workout that has a map → tap the route icon on the right → Export route → choose GPX or TCX → save. Only outdoor running, cycling and walking with a GPS track can be exported. Indoor workouts and workouts without a map have no route to give.
Amazfit and the Zepp app
Zepp exports an activity as FIT, one at a time, from the activity's page in the app; the account-level export gives CSV summaries without routes. Zepp also syncs to Strava, adidas Running, TrainingPeaks and komoot, and once the ride is on Strava the GPX is one click away (how). The FIT file viewer reads the Zepp FIT directly.
adidas Running (Runtastic)
The website's activity page is where the export has lived; look for an export or download option on the activity rather than in the app. adidas Running also receives synced workouts from Amazfit and others, which is often why it holds the only copy.
TrainingPeaks
Open the workout on the website; the workout's menu offers a download of the original file the device sent. That original is usually a FIT with everything in it.
Bryton and Hammerhead
Both bike computers have a companion app and a web dashboard, and the activity page on either offers a download of the ride as FIT (and usually GPX). Both also sync to Strava, which for a one-off ride is the shortest route to a file.
Outdooractive and Bikemap
Planning apps, so the file is usually a route, not a recording: the route's page has a GPX download, sometimes behind the paid tier. A recording made with their tracking is on the same page under the activity. Track vs route is the difference for a print.
If the export truly does not exist
Connect the app to Strava or Garmin Connect. Both accept syncs from almost everything, and both export files freely — export from Strava, export from Garmin Connect. For the next run, a watch that writes FIT is the file you will always have.
The apps with their own guide — Garmin, Apple Watch, Wahoo, Suunto and Coros, Polar, Fitbit, Samsung, Nike Run Club, AllTrails, Komoot, MapMyRun, Runkeeper, Zwift — are in the device guides.
Then what
Any GPX, FIT or TCX opens in the viewer to check it, uploads to Strava (how), and goes into the editor to become a print of the route with the numbers from the file. The other watches and apps are in the device guides.
Questions people actually ask
- What does export GPX mean?
- Saving the recording as a GPX file — a text file of the route's coordinates with times — so another app, a device or a print can read it. Every platform calls it something slightly different: export, download, share as file.
- How do I export a GPX from Huawei Health?
- Huawei's support page: Health, Exercise records, open an outdoor workout with a map, tap the route icon, Export route, choose GPX or TCX, save. Only outdoor running, cycling and walking with a GPS track can be exported.
- How do I get a file out of the Zepp app?
- Per activity, as FIT, from the activity's page in the Zepp app; the bulk export from the account gives CSV summaries without the routes. Zepp also syncs to Strava, adidas Running and others, from where the file is easier to reach.
- My app is not listed — where is the export?
- Open the finished activity on the website rather than the app, and look in its menu for Export, Download or Share as file. If there is none, connect the app to Strava or Garmin Connect and export from there.
