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.

Nick

Take a look at your TFlog.csv file -- it's in your default tracks directory.  It will have those stats for any file you have loaded into the logbook.

Two caveats:

1 - things are in metric units, so you'd probably need to convert
2 - do not save the TFlog.csv file back out using excel.  you will lose the quotes around the text strings, and TF will no longer be able to load it in.  The data will still be there, but TF will just treat it like an empty log, that can be appended to.

It's a little cumbersome, I know.

Two thoughts for adding it as a feature:

Right click on the file in the active list and choose "Export Stats".  This would just go to a text file of your choice.

When you add/edit a waypoint, you can do "add stats".  Right now this just sets the description to the distance and climbing for that track.  But it could be more.  Then it would be in a waypoint that could be extracted from the gpx file, or, copied to the clipboard from the waypoint dialog.

What do you think?

Thanks for responding.  

For the future exporting the stats would be a very nice touch.
 i.e.

Right click on the file in the active list and choose "Export Stats".  This would just go to a text file of your choice.

Also, exporting stats in bulk would be very nice.  

i.e. If I have 3 tracks loaded, then exporting all stats for all 3 tracks in one operation would be very nice.

Thanks for listening.
