Hello,

 

I record an alpine skiing activity from the strava app on my iphone.  I can see the map data on the screen before finishing the activity.  As soon as a I finish and hit upload, the activity uploads with np map data available.  As in the activity just says a distance elevation and time but there is no gps data.  When I export the activity it is a .fit file that is too small to have the gps data (<1kb).

 

One of the times I had replied to a text message while the upload animation was playing.  I think there is something about the upload being interrupted and deleting the data locally before it is uploaded.  I never experienced this issue until this new update with animations on uploading.  This has now happened on 3 separate occasions.  Super frustrating because the gps data seems unrecoverable.  I’ll also try uploading the activity as a ride instead and switching it later to see if this solves it.
