Latest snapshot builds have a new chart contributed by Peter Kanatselis which is interesting to preview and run simulated rides with GPS data:

1) Preview: when you select a workout with GPS data (GPX, TTS or JSON formats) the new Live Map Chart will allow to preview the whole course, ideally paired with a Workout (not Workout Editor) chart to see the elevation profile:

2) Run: once you start the workout Live Map Chart will automatically zoom (zoom factor is configurable) to the starting point and follow along:

Got it.
Thanks.
Paolo.

This is really cool. One question, where does the power information come from?
I imported a route form google earth, but it is asking me to do 800w on a flat section. I am not quite that good - Yet...

Power source depends on you configuration:
 
* measured by a power meter
* calculated from a smart trainer
* derived from wheel speed using a trainer power/speed curve (virtual power)  

Speed source can be provided by a trainer/speed sensor or simulated from the power source selected above, see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-TRAIN#how-can-i-have-virtual-or-simulated-speed-and-distance

I think I am just reading the graph wrong. 
Is the grey line on the workout graph simply the elevation data, and not the power? I just looked at the example above more carefully and can see it starts around 700w and goes up to around 2000w..

Yes, as explained in the first post of this thread the Workout chart shows the altitude profile (m or ft according to metrics or imperial units), watts line will appear once you start riding. You can simulate the ride using the Robot device.

Basically cycling on a trainer is boring so I'd like to take this Live Map and see if we can overlap this to Video chart and also display a list of nearby places possibly displaying Wikipedia entry for a selected one to enteratain the athlete (possibly an elder doing cycling as exercise/therapy).

I cannot find easily an introduction to chart development and guidelines for cooperative development of charts. Video chart for 3.6 is already doing some overlapping but I am not sure if there is a
separate code for these standard charts or if they are written in C++ and must be compiled with the whole codebase. So I'd like to have some hint about where to look for Live Map and Video charts code. Probably it is a good idea to rewrite this in Python using the Python chart guide that is somehow available.  Hints are welcome.
