Something I’ve been looking for for ages, a good way of visualising the many GPX tracks I’ve saved over the years. Today I stumbled on Alexander Avtanski’s GPS Track Visualization and here’s the results of my logged lunchtime walks so far for 2011:
Minor annoyance so far, although it works fine for me on the GPX tracks I’ve generated on the iPhone in Endomondo and then downloaded from the endomondo website, it barfs on the GPX from generated by the Garmin Edge 305 or 705 and then downloaded from Garmin Connect. My perl is a little rusty, I’ve taken the easy way out and emailed the author to see if its a simple fix.
… closely followed by minor annoyance being fixed. Alex mailed me back after having a look at the data and the scripts, seems that since he isn’t using a real XML parser and the order of parameters was giving the script grief. A quick fix and now I’m able to process the Garmin GPX tracks too. Now if only commercial software vendors were as responsive!
