GPS Tracks of Max Skiing

Adapted from GPX Loader by Bryce Nesbitt

KML

It's even easier to extract the GPS data as a KML file and open it in Google Earth (the tracks include a whole week's skiing, not just Wednesday).

Production notes

The Javascript code on this page reads a GPX file, and indicates on the map the waypoints in green and the tracks in red

Things I could do better

• Show different parts of the track in different colours: climbing or going downhill, speed or altitude.
• Locate the pictures on the map, by looking at the timestamp and figuring out where I was at that time. Honestly, I'm not bothered, soon all cameras (at least cameraphones) will have GPS anyway.
• There are much fewer points downloaded than the points that are shown on the GPS unit's screen. That's good as it results in the GPX file being not too large, and I don't have to downsample. But if I were to figure out the speed for instance, it wouldn't be enough points
