Multi Playback toggles
« on: October 11, 2010, 08:02:31 PM »
The available "toggles" are good but it would be nice to have a way of providing a more streamlined display.

Simple example - For cycling take a group of riders in a road race and play back their GPS data together to show how the race unfolded. The display becomes pretty cluttered when riders are close together.  
Being able to show, for example, just bib number would be good.
Just being able to toggle the file .GPX or .TCX extension would provide a means of doing this by using a short file name, even with no other changes.
[Edit: Hmm... am I missing something?   What I described above is shown here:

Additional toggles for distance and elapsed time would be useful for such purposes too.
[That DOES seem to be missing. Time especially would be nice to have in an unobtrusive window somewhere on the screen to avoid the need for placing the multi playback dialog box partially over the recorded display as shown in the video above.

The man/dog toggle allows a rough comparison of racers, but a true comparison of gap distance and/or time along the track would be more in line with the analysis that one might wish to see for racers or overlays of multiple rides on the same course.]

It would also be nice to have separate toggles for each separate file. That way one file could be showing the significant "overall" data, while others could just show the most basic identifying info. Moving display of some of this data onto the main screen would make captured video more informative.
