I've added the ability to see yours (and others) tracks overlaid on a browser-embedded Google Earth plugin. (www.ka72.com/)
As I mention on the site, this slows analysis a little, but the kml files I'm generating for the Google Earth overlays are only generated once, so the hit isn't too bad.
Naturally, not every browser or OS is supported, but you can download the kml files and apply them manually elsewhere if you like.
I think that's enough smoke-and-mirrors for the moment. I need to go back to working on GPX support and fine-tuning some of the larger calcs.
Here's a screen grab from one of the tracks on the site.
The cool thing about the plug-in is that it is full Google-Earth, you can zoom, pan, and change the camera angle etc.
I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do so far.
That is very cool Dylan, very cool indeed ![]()
I was interested to zoom into my track (BHITCHCOCK 20090103 SBN), there are some spikes on there that stay the same size on the screen, regardless of how far you zoom in.
Check it out and see what you reckon.
It's amazing how easily you can create whiz bang applications on the web hey
(Shh don't tell anyone)
Dylan,
Very impressive. 1 question though - How do you save the google image with track overlay? (right clicking mouse only gives you 3D pan option)
Good to see Alpha calculated in trackpoints for GT-11 users.

Which prompts me to add: If you want any tracks removed from the site for any reason, just send me an email via the ka72 page.

Hi Dylan great job mate.
I have just uploaded a file with a big spike which gives me a 2sec speed of 49.87, I wish ha. In realspeed I can see it's invalid and the correct speed is 29.41
The Navi display had just over 51 knts ![]()
I have only uploaded the one file, Bob 21-01-09 Dutchies.SBN, if you're interested ?
Cheers,
Bob.
Also with that file your Google link wouldn't work, I had the same prob just loading it into Google as a GPX file, what I had to do was select a point at the beginning of the sess and split the file there, save and then it will load into Google. I'd say this will be an occasional and unavoidable prob to a great feature.
It's good to be able to select someone else's file, hit Google and see where they sailed, as not everyone loads the occasional map on GPSTC, good stuff Dylan ![]()
Yes I saw that the file didn't appear to work. What is actually happening is that the file had some points at 0,0 near the beginning, and for some reason my filter wasn't cutting them out. I've updated the site and it should render correctly now. Take a look at http://www.ka72.com/viewge.aspx?fid=141&tid=0 and you should find it is fine now.
Dylan.
