3J`s Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I use USA photomaps with my basic yellow etrex. I can view the track log info. in the form of a spreadsheet. Does anyone have any interesting ways to use or manipulate this data. Seems like a great tool !!! MIKE Quote Link to comment
+quakemap Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I was asked once to provide a printout of routes so that people could use just bearing/distance data and navigate with compass; this is how the result looks like: Route. Similar printout for tracks is here:Track (that one came unsolicited, and I assume that all speeds over the legal driving limit are just result of computational errors :-). The challenge was to apply some non-trivial math to the track points to compute bearing/heading; similar formulas produce exact distance. So, I would be very surprised if there is a tool that takes a spreadsheet and does that much to it, say, in Excel. This type of processing is best when integrated into the mapping application itself.
