I had some trouble getting Garmin software ( VIRB Edit, Garmin BaseCamp, and Garmin Connect) to work with my GPX files, or as Garmin has lately taken to re-brand In their own silly name, “G-Metrix ” data files. When trying to import GPX files, I'd get a terse, frustrating “ Failed to read file ” or “.
