GPS Track Logging
Does anyone know of a PocketPC application which logs position and altitude
during a ride for download and analysis? Living and riding on the fringe of the Derbyshire Dales I'm particularly interested in working out height gains and gradients. I've got a trial copy of GPS2GoogleEarth which writes out a .KML file of the track for Google Earth import. The mapping utility on the CTC site also works out an altitude profile from KML data, although (and I'm really new to this so please excuse my ignorance) I can't see any altitude data in the file itself. I'm not averse to doing a bit of maths to go from lat/long to range/bearing and I don't need the software to display a map (although that would be a bonus). thanks -- Nigel |

Try Trekbuddy. It runs on Java ME so should run on a pocket PC type
appliance. I use it quite successfully on my phone (SE k770i). I have been using a Qstarz Q1000P via Bluetooth (or was till the USB side of it died) as a GPS unit but you should be able to use the built in GPS if you have it. ...d |

Nokia have "Sports Tracker" which I have used whilst out kayaking. Pretty good for recording the couple of times I've used it ... |

I use it with a Road Angel 7000 - great stuff. Neil |

Install program switch on reciever and pocket pc and ride. It will log the track you take and you can see at any point your altitute. Download to pc and get a cross section etc. As I said not free.

On my Navman PiN 570 I had to find a separate GPS config tweaking utility to turn the altitude output from the GPS bit back on (the road navigation that comes with the PDA turned it off), and the altitude information varies more than the position output, so using the GPS position information to get the altitude off the map might actually be more accurate. That'll depend on your particular GPS though, I'm sure. If you _just_ want logging, Memory-Map is almost certainly excessive. Being able to have an OS map for vast areas on a memory card is very nice though. |
