Beta Testing / Map1.dat

« on: March 31, 2006, 10:51:16 AM »

maps1.dat  This file has gotten very very large on my system.  It takes a long long time to back up.  What would happen if I lost it?  Why is it sooo big?  Right now it is at 364 MEG.  Is it my system?  It has been compressing to back up for over 5minutes now.  It seems that this has only started recently. I have V2.80 but it certainly could have started earlier.  Thanks

Feature Requests / color coded speed and %grade

« on: February 26, 2006, 09:45:57 PM »

I am always describing this program, and, among other things, I really like the color coded altitude!!!

But I also really want color coded speed and %grade that I can superimpose on a map or sat picture  :->

Here is a point about speed.  It would help detect spurious GPS data.  Sometimes my GPS looses satellites and I get a point well off the track, the distance changes fast but the time does not, so I get a high speed for that one point.  Sometimes it is even the maximum speed and I know it is wrong but cannot find it.  Color coded, it would stick out and I could reposition the point.

Second I am beta testing.  I almost just emailed this to scott but thought I would check this area out.  Is this the best place to post beta-test comments?

Third minor comment,  the pictures work great for me I told 5 people in the bike club this morning about them.  But, if you have turned off the GPS while taking pictures, turned it back on and continued, and then merged the tracks again when downloading, the pictures taken during the time that the GPS was off seem to be left out.  Also some pictures taken quickly together overlap quite a bit.  Maybe you could have the button for the bottom ones bigger.  Or maybe offset close ones a little.

Anyway as always I think this is a great program.
