I once again recommend to pull the *.GPX files from your fitness tracker and view them in blender!
Shown is a section of my bike bike commutes (and fun rides around town) form 2022 to today, spanning at least 6000km
You can use this add on I made for that purpose. Even if #b3d is switching to the new extensions platform! Just select "Install from disc..." and you're set.
I have lots of favorites (starred places) in #OSMand and I want to view them on a map on a bigger screen, not just on the phone. When I export them, I get a favorites.gpx file.
As far as I understand, these are waypoints on a track?
I opened the file in the nextcloud map, and it displays the points, but without any text.
The entries look like this:
<wpt lat="51.5320587" lon="-0.1773316">
<time>2025-01-18T22:23:30Z</time>
<name>Abbey Road Crossing</name>
<extensions>
<osmand:amenity_subtype>attraction</osmand:amenity_subtype>
<osmand:address>Abbey Road (South Hampstead), Camden Town</osmand:address>
<osmand:amenity_origin>Amenity:Abbey Road Crossing: tourism:attraction</osmand:amenity_origin>
I tried converting the file to (geo)json, but so far the file has come out empty. I realize I don't really know what I'm looking for. It doesn't have to be nextcloud compatible at all, that was just the first thing I had on hand.
I would like to see the points and their names on a map on a bigger screen.
Any suggestions please?
#BendingSpoons is a #PrivateEquity firm. #Komoot #bike users should download their already ridden or planned #tracks as #GPX files as soon as possible before they have to pay a lot for them (or even to get a #map update). Better alternatives to Komoot: #Routing with #Brouter , #Cyclers , #VisuGPX or #Valhalla ; (free) navigation with #OrganicMaps or #CycleTravel . Everything else (photos, etc.) is anyway a #socialmedia feature.

Playing with some #GPX data for an upcoming #TrailRunning race. Two different tools come up with wildly different total elevation gain/loss numbers: Garmin says 2,600 feet and GPS Visualizer says 5,200. Just for fun, I asked Strava and they said 3,000. Evidently nobody can agree.
I think Garmin is closer to reality here, although GPS Visualizer talks a big game about the myriad elevation data sources they enlist. You can see in the attached image that the Garmin elevation profile is much smoother than the more jittery GPS Visualizer profile. I think all that jittering is the source of most of the additional 2,600 feet, although GPS Visualizer does think that some peaks are >100 feet higher than Garmin does.
If you find yourself wanting precise elevation data, who do you typically turn to?
#FediAsk / #BikeTooter : Is there a #free and #opensource software ( #FOSS ) on #Android for #bike #navigation which allows to upload a #GPX route, *easily* and quickly modify it before as well as *during* navigation, and at the end download the GPX file? I love the #OsmAnd navigation tool, but, since I am by far not a #geek ,somehow fail to quickly modify the tracks.
Thank you.
Wie ich meine erdachten/gefundenen #GPX-Routen speichere?
Als #Lesezeichen im Browser.
Mein Workflow, wenn ich eine Strecke plane oder auf dem #Garmin haben möchte:
- #GPX erstellen (bevorzugt mit bikerouter.de, weil es gibt nichts besseres!)
- GPX Datei auf Garmin kopieren (#Cloud Sync von Garmin oder File-Sync am Desktop)
Fertig.
Wüsste gar nicht, wobei ich mit #Komoot einen Vorteil gehabt hätte, wenn ich die Plattform genutzt hätte, die mit dem Verkauf von #OSM-Karten Geld macht(e).
