Batch download along path
« on: April 08, 2012, 04:42:56 PM »
Instead of dragging a rectangle to define the batch download area, how about specifying a GPX path and width that defines what should be downloaded?

Great idea.  Using a track to define it would make it pretty easy.

To some extent this is already in place. I have done it by simply using "playback" of a recorded track. All that is necessary is selecting the appropriate "speed" and viewing scale. Of course that may not provide a download region that is "wide" enough as the view moves along the track.
And it does seem to require a track with sufficient time data to allow the track to be followed.

But it would  be interesting to be able to insert time data into a track to simulate some fixed speed. Sort of the inverse of determining the speed at any given segment from recorded data.
