Exporting data from Hoolan
There are currently two ways that you are able to export your GPS location data and heart rate data from Hoolan, for import into other platforms such as Strava:
1. MANUAL EXPORT: Download your GPX files
Go to the three dot menu at the top right of the session details screen. Choose Export GPX File, wait for the file to download and then pick your preferred way to transfer/ save your GPX file. This will allow you to upload your data directly to platforms like Strava, for free.
Imports into Strava:
-
Download and save your file from Hoolan
-
Go to https://www.strava.com/upload/select (it cannot be done through their App).
Log into your Strava account and import the GPX file from where you've saved it.
2. AUTOMATIC EXPORT: Using Apple Health
We've enabled the watch app to write GPS and heart rate data to Apple Health while you are recording. Once the data from your session is in Apple Health you can then use third party apps like Health Fit ($4.99 one off fee) to set up an automatic export of your data to other platforms like Strava, for example.
In order to make this happen, you need to have given Hoolan permission to write both your 'Workout Routes' and 'Workouts' to Apple Health. These permissions are requested when you first download and open up the Hoolan Watch App. To double check you have the right permissions set on your phone, navigate to Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Hoolan and toggle write to 'Workout Routes' on.

We do have plans to develop a direct Strava integration from Hoolan in the future, but we hope these two options will be useful for riders in the meantime.
