Fabricated Timestamps
« on: September 28, 2011, 09:23:07 AM »
Is there a way to change the default 10 second interval on the fabricated timestamps?
If I make a 100 mile track using 1000 trackpoints x 10sec = 10,000 sec = 2.78hrs giving an average speed of 36mph. That is not possible as a runner.  :o
If I could change the interval to something else like 70sec then I would get an average speed of 5.1mph. Much more reasonable.  :)

Thanks, Don Huston

Hi Don,

How are you uploading a track, are you first saving it out as a .CRS file?  Remind me what GPS you have.

You might be able to adjust the speed a bit by decreasing the number of points in your track.  If you take it down to 25% of the total number of points you might get some more reasonable speeds.

I don't think a precise way of fabricating times is worth effort, but maybe an option to go with a preset speed would make sense.

Thanks

Hello Scott,

I am leaving in the morning for a 50 mile endurance race. I will explain my problem when I get back on Tue. Thanks for such a great software, I use it a lot.
