Archived Support / Exporting track statistics

« on: April 03, 2007, 05:19:15 PM »

Hi, I am wondering if TF can export track statistics.
TF does a wonderful job of calculating:

Length, Moving Time, Climbing Elev., Avg. Speed, Date, Max Speed, # Points, Total Time, Stopped Time, Uphill Time, DownHill Time, Flat Time, Uphill Dist, Downhill Dist, Flat Dist., Uphill Grade %, Downhill grade %, Descending Elev, Difficulty Index, Effort Index, Pace, and Path to file.

I would like to know if TF can export these vales?

I know I can run a lap analysis and export some stats, but it is not as complete as the list above which is viewable in the main screen in the lower window pane.

If TF can do this, how? If not I guess this will become a feature request.

Archived Support / Question with Elevation Gain - Yes I read HelpFile

« on: March 31, 2007, 09:13:42 PM »

I have read the “The TopoFusion Climbing Analysis Dialog” Help page.  I have also searched the forums which I found helpful.

I do have a question about a elevation gain/loss relating to a recent track that I made out while hiking.

My question is… Why is the Straight GPS value so crazy?  I hiked in the desert and my max elevation was 5748.

Here is what I get when I run the “Climbing Analysis”
----------------------------
No DEM (elevation) data, use Download DEM Data button.
TopoFusion:       21401 ft
Straight GPS:       26365 ft
Straight DEM:           0 ft
Maptech:           0 ft
TopoUSA:           0 ft
Custom Algorithm:       21401 ft
-----------------------------

These values seem insane to me.  I know my Garmin 60CSx barometric sensor was correctly calibrated recently, albeit not in the desert.

While, on the “Climbing Analysis Window” I clicked on “Download DEM Data for track”, then I made data source: DEM, and set minimum gain to:1 (meter) and here are the updated results:
-----------------------------
TopoFusion:       21401 ft
Straight GPS:       26365 ft
Straight DEM:        7209 ft
Maptech:        3074 ft
TopoUSA:        7209 ft
Custom Algorithm:        6675 ft
------------------------------

This value of 6675 seems reasonable to me based on my experience for that day.  I did those adjustments based on a recommendation of another forum member.

Here is a link to my data if someone wants to take a look and provide some help.
