Sportablet 5.2 and the Mobile Uploader for Garmin 3.9 can now export activities from their "native" TCX / FIT format to GPX. This had become a frequent request, so I hope it will make some of you guys happy :-).
Please note that GPX is not a true replacement for FIT or TCX. GPX was born to capture GPS coordinates, not to model fitness activities. There is no direct / reversible mapping from a TCX to a GPX, and most of the data inside a FIT file won't fit :-) in a GPX file.
The approach I've adopted in my apps is basically the same approach adopted in Garmin Connect: export only GPS and time coordinates. This is what you really need to use mapping / geocaching apps.
If you want all the data, stick with the native format :-)
