If I'm out and about I often track my path by mobile phone. The software can output a file as a GPX file, and I've been playing with the data as visual displays to show where I lost time or went wrong. The images below show the map I was following with my overall score ( second of two competing as males over 75) and a colour coded animation of the route I actually took. It was not helped by my eyesight misleading me to going from 5 to 9 when it should have been to 6- I was at this point holding the map upside down.... |

Maybe you can make the "Woodbury_Common_Green_O_Course_.gpx" file available on the page so that people can take a look at it along with the code or did I just overlook it?

I put up the page as an example of parsing a common and useful file format I'd not seen on LB before, and parsing such files has been asked several times. Generally people interested by any of my many LB pages messages or emails me and we 'talk direct' rather than on the open forum, which can fill with rather two-sided topics that may not interest people with beginner or specialist interests. Putting up a page with bright graphics makes for more of a turn-on for newcomers dropping into the forum! I'd rather assumed anyone interested would download a suitable file from Strava or w.h.y. I'd have included a file-selector but it was easier to change the name in the code rather than select it, since under Wine it can get confused over where files are coming from or being written to... since that version loads/saves the parsed data after finding max/min and then reloads. You'll have noticed that the sample code on the page refers to a file called "Zorig.gpx" which is an edited version of the file you ask for- the race start and my Strava start were several hundred yards apart so needed editing. However the file original is at www.diga.me.uk/Woodbury_Common_Green_O_Course_.gpx |
