05. Advanced Features & Automation
GarSync 2.0 provides advanced tools for managing, sharing, and backing up your digital sports assets.
1. Automated Private Cloud Backup (NAS/SMB)
One of GarSync's most powerful features for power users. It ensures you maintain full ownership of your data even if cloud platforms become unavailable.
- Automated Workflow: Once configured, every new workout or sync task triggers a silent upload of the
.fitor data package to your specified NAS path. - Consolidation: Collect activity data from multiple family members or devices into a single home server.
- Setup Path:
Account Management -> Add (+) -> Storage -> SMB/Samba.
2. Data Export Wizard
If you need to migrate bulk historical data to a new platform or export raw files for scientific analysis:
- Navigate to "Discovery" -> "Export Data".
- Select the source and time range.
- Supported Formats:
- Original (.fit/.tcx): Preserves all telemetry including cadence, power, and dynamics.
- CSV/JSON: Perfect for data mining and custom reporting.
- GPX: Standard track format compatible with all mapping software.
3. Activity Merging
Ever accidentally hit "Stop" in the middle of a marathon, splitting your epic run into two?
- Use the "Merge Activity" tool to select two or more consecutive activities.
- GarSync automatically stitches the tracks together and recalculates average pace, total distance, and performance metrics.
- The resulting "Full Activity" can be synced to Strava or Garmin as a single record.
4. Social Posters
Your effort deserves to be seen.
- Personalized Posters: Tap "Share" in the Activity Detail page to generate beautiful posters with your GPS track and core metrics (distance, pace, elevation).
- Design Templates: Choose from several styles, including Minimalist, Tech/Geek, and Scenic.
- Long Summaries: Export week-over-week or monthly summary images to track your progress.
5. Customization & Personalization
- Dark Mode: Reduces eye strain for evening data reviews.
- Multi-language: Seamlessly switch between Chinese and English interfaces.
- Shortcuts: Rearrange the tiles in the "Discovery" page to put your favorite tools front and center.
