brussel Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Ok so here is the deal. I have a GPS and I import the data onto my computer in GPX format after a ride so that I can see where I went and what the route profile looks like. This is all done by the Garmin Mapsource software. How do I EASILY calculate a cumulative altitude gain on the. I can faff around and export into excel but that is painful. anyone got any other idea on how to tackle this one?
sampie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 If you have Garmin Training Centre it should give you total acent. What GPS do you have, Edge?
brussel Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 got a samsung phone with GPS as well as a GPS 12...will look at installing training center
brussel Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 installed training center - can't get it to see my phone tho...
VincentBikes Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Not sure if Training Center will import it but this is the summary you get in Training Center
sampie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Sorry, i think TC are only for Garmin GPS's.
sampie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Not sure if Training Center will import it but this is the summary you get in Training Center Let me guess, you did the 94.7
brussel Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 my GPS is a garmin device - or is it only the maps that are garmin, hmmm Got samsung mobile navigator by garmin installed, not sure if it is the device also that is Garmin. I can see and import perfectly well on MapSource....
VincentBikes Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Training Center uses .tcx files which is different from mapsource as far as I know.
sampie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Training Center uses .tcx files which is different from mapsource as far as I know. True, and .hst & .crs where mapsource are raw gpx files. I might be wrong.
Dirty Twin Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Not sure if Training Center will import it but this is the summary you get in Training Center Windgat
mountain_lion Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Have you tried SportTracks?http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks Much better than Garmin Training Center... Garmin GPS 12 is an old model; not sure if SportTracks will support it directly, but you can import .gpx files. mountain_lion2008-11-17 13:42:09
Minion Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 You could probably do it in SportsTracks. It's free and you can get it here:www.zonefivesoftware.com Edit: Mountain Lion beat me to it by a second! Edman2008-11-17 13:38:06
mountain_lion Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Edman: Great minds... Another option is to convert (GPSBabel etc) your data to OziExplorer track format (.plt) and use Trackan, also free. http://people.ksp.sk/~tino/gps/help.html
