Do you have something that plots the XML data then lets you click on an individual point to examine it? Clearly the first glitch is when you suddenly jump off Marsh Wall - can you click on that point to get the details? Or failing that, do you know at what time you were there? Or failing that, is there an online map that will let you locate a place then ask the latitude and longitude? (I just looked at Google and Multimap, and couldn't see such a facility in either place.)

Once there is a way to relate the individual XML entries to specific points on the map, the rest is a simple matter of blood, sweat and tears. :)

Then, get this, it will animate flying along the route, dammit. In perspective. Bloody hell... I nearly came. What an incredibly sexy application of internet technology. (Dave, I found you have to click on a "Path" in the left hand treeview list thing, then click the Play icon... it's exactly what we were looking for.)

Here is a screenshot of the dodgy area, in Google Earth. Imagine that tracking along all smooth, like, for the whole of the route, turning to reorientate as needed.

Phwoarr!

I'm not sure what else (other than the ForeRunner 301) outputs HST, and in fact that only does so indirectly, via exporting from the Garmin Training Centre, and you have to export the entire history; there's no selection ability, meaning you have to manually edit the HST after exporting if you only want to import a subset of the data to GE.

Not sure if that helps, but.

If you fancy having a play with the Marathon fly-through, here's the GPX file (as yet uncorrected for the bad GPS data). Open it with GE and press the Play triangle in the treeview at the left.

I'm just fully stoked that we managed to figure out how to export from Garmin Mapsource and into Google Earth. (by accident:)

I've been wanting a Topological map for plannning and Mapsource don't do Topos for Europe yet...but GE will do nicely :)

I can roughly work out what time I was where, possibly even to the nearest minute, but I think it would be more accurate to use your third method. I'm fairly sure that in the absense of something like Garmin's [heavily copy-protected] MapSource software, Google Earth or possibly even just Google Maps (maps.google.co.uk) can provide if not the pinpoint lat/long for the dodgy points then at least close enough to be searchable (with better accuracy than a minute).

I shall return to this later. I am just off to take Asha to see some lovely Christmassy play or something... the Gruffalo's Child, I think. Wonderful stuff.

Cheers.
