FAQ
FIT to SHP Conversion
What are FIT files?
The FIT (Flexible and Interoperable Data Transfer) format is associated with some GPS devices, such as Edge, Forerunner and Oregon, created by Garmin. FIT images generally contain tracks and routes and can be opened using a limited number of image viewers. They are considered rare and need to be converted to more popular formats for increased accessibility.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
