Nokia Sports Tracker now with photo placement

gowen 于 2008年一月15日 以 English 发布

I use my Nokia N95 for capturing tracks using the Nokia Sports Tracker software (http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/SportsTracker/). I was just checking for updates and noticed that from version 1.6 they have added support for photo placement where "photos captured during recording are automatically positioned on the track".

The other good thing about NST is that it will continue to run in the background if you start another application. This allows me to take voice notes using the built in voice recorder while recording a track.

In order to get the maximum amount of data from each journey, I am currently using three GPS's simultaneously.

I'm using:
1. My orginal Garmin Etrex Legend
2. Maemo-Mapper running on a Nokia N770 with a Cellink BTG-7000 bluetooth GPS
3. Sports-Tracker running on a Nokia N95

Depending on the journey I may use one or all of them.

Comparison of the results shows the Cellink and N95 producing near identical traces, whereas the much older Etrex tends to deviate by a good margin especially under trees.

Mapping Taunton Area

I live near North Petherton and Work in Chard, So I have collected loads of gpx traces for the route to work. It has expanded my knowledge of the local area no end as I've deviated away from the main roads and into the lanes on either side.

I also make a point of recording other journeys around the area including trips to Taunton, Bridgewater, Minehead and Exmoor.

My plan is that traces outside my local area are uploaded as public immediately and local traces will be made public after I have created the ways.
