Today, I’m going to be using Viewranger route tracking app for Android.
Due to the limitations of Googlemaps, I’m going to find something which will store and record the routes that I’ve taken, does the maths, and plot the graph for me.
Maps has a limit for the online version. I can only add a certain amount of content before it tells me I’ve exceeded the given number of separate additions to the one map.
So, I’m trying something new, and tonight’s map will be done with Viewranger, (hopefully).
If the file is a large one Maps will split it up over a number of pages.
That’s it! Google plots your waypoints/tracks then zooms to center the map. It’s as simple as giving your waypoints/tracks some names and you can share this map with the world.
This is almost like going back to the days of hairspray on phone-cards, video-tape on cash cards or all those other small-time low risk scams of yesteryear.
Your life in their hands Bearing in mind credit-card fraud in the UK is not a criminal offence, you won’t even get a sentence for this one.
The video explains all.
I know RFID is a good thing. I can’t help thinking this is a bit dodgy to me.
New suit? The video recommends getting a stainless steel wallet, to go with your tin-foil hat, if you’re really worried.
RFID Future There was another interesting video about baron S deRothchild talking about getting us all chipped and muted, but you’d have to search on u-tube for that one.
Using this photograph of Angelina Jolie’s tattoo, I’ve geolocated each of her spawn.
And this map shows the location of each of Angelina Jolie’s children from the latitude and longitude tattoo’s on her arm.
Bearing in mind one of her children was born in a pond, we can only assume GPS was not experiencing the leaps forward of modern days. Unless she wants to get them lazered out and corrected, here they are.
TOOLS/GPS – Select your unit; In my case the GPS GARMIN.
IMPORT options. In my case I’m only interested in the polyline or TRACK information. You have options to import each placemark, also to annul altitude readings etc.
Plug in the GPS and turn it on.
A message appears – Importing data from COM1. When you’re done, a message appears 207 Active logs imported.
TRACK is displayed in the Temporary Places folder.
In the top left corner there’s a little marker with a CLOCK alongside. In the CLOCK, select the timerange you’re interested in presenting data from. In my case 1st Sept to 21st Sept.
Once the CLOCK is set the software will begin displaying the TRACK that lies within that timeframe.
This next part is manual. Select TRACK parts, (google calls them ACTIVE LOGS), which are not part of your timeframe and DELETE them.
When you’ve pared off the bogus ACTIVE LOG points and you’re happy with your track, you’re ready to save: TRACK/SAVE AS/KMZ.
IF YOU DON’T DELETE bogus active logs the software becomes confused when you try to do any kind of visualisation. So be sure to do that smartening up yourself.
Welcome to my world.. This is now your very own track you can open in any Google Earth pro, Google Maps or otherwise. You can view it save it to your places and e-mail it to your friends.
Was struck by the amount of sites there are in the UK. map. Consists of navigating yourself to a hidden container write a log, leave a meaningful object, and plod on your weary path.
