Where was I ?

Posted by escada on 21 February 2016 in English.

Here are some renderings of the GPX-traces I made during my walks (and ride to the walks)

The first one is with the walks from 2015. The “noise” is caused by not cleaning the track before the walk. 2015

This one is with all tracks I have made in Belgium since April 2011. All 2011

The same one, with other colours All since 2011 red-green

Here red is for fast sections, green for slow parts, overlayed on the map from Belgium All on Belgium

All pictures are made with JOSM. Would love to hear if there is a more appropriate program to make such pictures

GPSBabel has some option to split GPX tracks based on distance/time, see online docs, option ‘sdistance’. Maybe worth a try to get rid of the noise.

Thanks for the suggestion mmd, I’ll give it a try

QGIS will give you a lot more options for prettier visualization.

How easy is it to get this data in JOSM? (I would love to see my own map, but I have about a 1000 tracks)

On my mac, I made a smart folder which contains the search result of all Track_*.gpx files. That’s needed because I keep them in subfolders per year and per day. I just opened all files from that smart folder in JOSM. I just checked and I have 1005 tracks. JOSM takes a bit to open them all on my machine, but not more than a few minutes.
