# Polar Flow HTML to GPX convertor

## About

[@jan_schmid](https://www.twitter.com/jan_schmid) got himself a new Polar V800 this year, which means his old Garmin was destined to fall upon me. However, our primary use of the GPS function is to import the data into [QuickRoute](http://www.matstroeng.se/quickroute/en/) to analyze orienteering races, and as it turns out, the V800 uses the new Polar Flow instead of the old Pro Trainer. Flow does not yet support exporting the GPS data, however it loads it all into the webapp to overlay it onto google maps. So, naturally, I wrote a small python script that parses that data and writes it into the QuickRoute-supported [Global Position eXchange](http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp) format. The script is here, and below.

## Warning
77
It *must* be noted that this just parses the HTML/JS of the webapp, and does so in a very hacky way. It is likely that it will break if Polar change anything on their side. When that happens, Jan will probably expect me to update it, but that happening is far from guaranteed. If you find any other bugs in it, feel free to use whatever github's way of notifying me is, or email bugs(alfa)schmidx2(dt)com.
