Street view/map view

[marcag]

Hi,

I am trying to get maps/street view to work.

I added the two charts, select a .crs file and press start. But I get
nothing in the map and street view chart

I am testing with the "null device".

Is a crs file to the right file to select ? I tried dropping a gpx
file in the directory but it didn't pick it up

Is there a "Streetview for dummies" tutorial ?

thanks

Ok, with some help from Greg I got it to work.

Maybe someone can shed some light on my observations

First of all, you have to import the GPX as an activity. This is where
I am still trying to understand the contents of various GPX files. If
I go to MapMyRide, map a ride, export as GPX and try loading this in
GC, I will not be able to do the whole map/streetview thing. The GPX
seems to contain a bunch of lat/long/elev points, but GC wants more. A
Garmin "Activity" GPX file seems to be what it wants. Maybe someone
can shed some light on the difference between the two.

BUT

If you want some really cool "Activity" GPX files, go to Garmin
Connect and there are contributions from people all around the world.
I rode a ride in the South of France yesterday and this morning rode a
quick one in Australia, all compliments of random strangers around the
world.

Hey Marc,

I quickly looked that your issue.  Here's what is happening...

The GpxParser is reading the file correctly, but is not adding the datapoints to RideItem. 

The Parser isn't adding the points because there is no time information, and GC does a "smoothing" operation on any data that isn't in 1 second intervals.  Thus, we end up dropping the data and having only one ride point.

I have attached the patch to fix the issue and will put a bug defect against the gpsparser wtih the fix.  Hopefully  the fix will be accepted and the next 3.0 release will have it.

Later,

Greg

Cool. Thanks

As a work around, Garmin Connect has a ton of cool routes from around
the world that I can use.

I assume the patch you sent me is for Linux ? I am on Windows but will
wait for the next build, whenever that comes out.

Pushed the fix into the main repo. Should be in the next development builds.
