- Heart rate information in exported activity GPX files
- Start/stop in GPX for all activities where the user paused and then resumed their activity
Heart rate information is included with each GPS data point via gpxtpx:hr tags, while each pause/resume results in a new trkseg.
If you’d like to try this out for yourself, please generate a new export and let us know what you think. Please leave feedback via my post to the Health Graph discussion forum (click here).
