FAQS

Which is better smart TV or projector?

A TV is going to create a much brighter image than any projector, one that holds up better in bright rooms.1

What is GPX TCX?

A TCX file is an XML file used to transfer fitness data between fitness devices. It contains fitness data, such as the type of sport, lap time, distance, calories, intensity etc. A GPX file is a GPS data file saved in the GPS Exchange format, which is an open standard that can be freely used by GPS programs.

Does GPX have power data?

GPX files exported Strava will contain power data recorded with a power meter but not estimated power. Navigate to one of your Activity pages and from the more (ellipses) menu, select “Export GPX”. The file will then download to your computer with the file extension “. gpx”.

What is GPX viewer?

The GPX viewer made for the purpose of viewing the gpx file that you recorded. You can load tracks from gpx file and show them on a Maps view. You can also see your GPS position on a map and use viewer as navigation. This GPX Viewer does not save or share the file you select.

Can a mini replace the TV?

If you don’t watch daytime programs like morning shows and soap operas and instead usually watch streaming videos and movies, then the projector can substitute as your TV in the most cost-effective way possible. Just remember to invest in light-blocking blackout curtains.

Does GPX have heart rate?

GPX exports from Strava do contain heart rate and power data, so this only works if the . gpx comes from another platform. In Step 1, drag the . fit file in question from your computer or open the option to select it.

How long do mini projectors last?

It’s correct to say that projectors last around 1500 to 2000 hours (also known as the lamp life.)

Should I use GPX or TCX?

The GPX file had latitude, longitude and elevation at each point. The TCX file had latitude and longitude only. So, in this case, the GPX is better.

What does GPX stand for?

GPX, or GPS Exchange Format, is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software applications. It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes.

Are mini projectors worth buying?

A cheap projector can be a great way to spice up a living room or bedroom without breaking the bank. An affordable projector can also be a clever way to create a big-screen home cinema experience in a small space that doesn’t have room for a large 4K TV. They can often be a lot cheaper than buying a new TV too.

What does GPX stand for?

It is compact binary file, and it is the native file format that current Garmin devices use to record the activity. FIT is the preferable format. TCX doesn’t support all (meta)data and GPX is even worse in that aspect (it doesn’t support laps for instance).

What devices use GPX?

Most commonly, fitness devices and applications, such as Garmin Connect devices, use GPX files to import and export running and biking routes. More sophisticated mapping applications, including the desktop versions of Google Earth Pro and the web version of Google Maps, also create and use GPX files.

Which is better fit or GPX?

It is a compact binary file, and it is the native file format that current Garmin devices use to record the activity. FIT is the preferable format. TCX doesn’t support all (meta)data and GPX is even worse in that aspect (it doesn’t support laps for instance).

Can I open the projector and perform any repairs myself?

No, opening the projector and attempting to perform repairs yourself may result in electric shock. Refer servicing to service personnel.

Is this product safe to use in all environments?

It is important to follow the safety instructions and warnings provided in the user manual. Additionally, that the projector is used in a well-ventilated area and away from water or excessive moisture.
