I think i found a good way to visualize runs and might work even when comparing similar ones, but in the meantime if you want to create a 3d elevation profile of your workout give this a go:

I know that if the track is too long the lap numbers will overlap and there are a ton more improvements that can be done, but it is a start.

Also know that it is hosted on pythonanywhere as a small app, it might crash…

The battery of my laptop died so no more work.

I got this far: (see image)

Not sure if I will use it for anything, but it was fun to make!

The awesome devs at wanderer, which is a self-hosted track database, just released an update which majorly improves the performance of the application. Now there is no more problem to render lots of long Tracks. You should check out this project at https://wanderer.to/ and if you can, support in development. (Some users are asking for a federation feature, which could promote this trail database to a full-blown Fediverse-compatible Komoot alternative!)

Shortly after the aquisition of #Komoot by Italian #PrivateEquity firm #BendingSpoons about 80% of its staff has already been fired.

When logging into the account the main page does not show anymore the latest activities of the followed people... It may be a good idea to download all traveled and plannend #tracks as #GPX files on the #computer - just to be on the safe side.

All I want to do is convert my #schema! – Matt Croydon::Postneo #AD2007

#Biketooter :When planning a #bike #route with #FOSS and #OSM based #routing engines, such as #Brouter / #Bikerouter ,the result analysis frequently shows some #surface percentage as "unknown". I guess that's because the #information is missing in the #OpenstreetMap #database .However, when I upload the same track as #GPX into a #commercial #biking application, such as #Komoot or #Cyclers ,the "unknown" has disappeared, while they are also based on OSM. How come?

More progress on my GPS , GPX comparison tracker!

Still not what I want, but I am getting close!

To do:

I want to move the data labels to a table
Calculate the difference between them
color the faster day
change the day to a colored dot matching the track
sort them the fastest on top
….

So close and yet so far!

I once again recommend to pull the *.GPX files from your fitness tracker and view them in blender!

Shown is a section of my bike bike commutes (and fun rides around town) form 2022 to today, spanning at least 6000km

You can use this add on I made for that purpose. Even if #b3d is switching to the new extensions platform! Just select "Install from disc..." and you're set.

I have lots of favorites (starred places) in #OSMand and I want to view them on a map on a bigger screen, not just on the phone. When I export them, I get a favorites.gpx file.

As far as I understand, these are waypoints on a track?

I opened the file in the nextcloud map, and it displays the points, but without any text.

The entries look like this:

<wpt lat="51.5320587" lon="-0.1773316">
<time>2025-01-18T22:23:30Z</time>
<name>Abbey Road Crossing</name>
<extensions>
<osmand:amenity_subtype>attraction</osmand:amenity_subtype>
<osmand:address>Abbey Road (South Hampstead), Camden Town</osmand:address>
<osmand:amenity_origin>Amenity:Abbey Road Crossing: tourism:attraction</osmand:amenity_origin>

I tried converting the file to (geo)json, but so far the file has come out empty. I realize I don't really know what I'm looking for. It doesn't have to be nextcloud compatible at all, that was just the first thing I had on hand.

I would like to see the points and their names on a map on a bigger screen.

Any suggestions please?

#BendingSpoons is a #PrivateEquity firm. #Komoot #bike users should download their already ridden or planned #tracks as #GPX files as soon as possible before they have to pay a lot for them (or even to get a #map update). Better alternatives to Komoot: #Routing with #Brouter , #Cyclers , #VisuGPX or #Valhalla ; (free) navigation with #OrganicMaps or #CycleTravel . Everything else (photos, etc.) is anyway a #socialmedia feature.

Mon premier #50pasouf avec mon nouveau #vélo à ma taille. Depuis ~Orly pour un tour de la forêt de Sénart. Du bleu, un peu de vent, des fleurs, des arbres, la nature, les pitizoizo, la Seine, du single au bord de l'eau, du gras, les pieds dans la gadoue à en boucher les cales, et une côte de dingo pour remonter de la Seine sur le plateau à Juvisy . Mais c'était trop bien ! Si vous voulez le #gpx... @emeline

Playing with some #GPX data for an upcoming #TrailRunning race. Two different tools come up with wildly different total elevation gain/loss numbers: Garmin says 2,600 feet and GPS Visualizer says 5,200. Just for fun, I asked Strava and they said 3,000. Evidently nobody can agree.

I think Garmin is closer to reality here, although GPS Visualizer talks a big game about the myriad elevation data sources they enlist. You can see in the attached image that the Garmin elevation profile is much smoother than the more jittery GPS Visualizer profile. I think all that jittering is the source of most of the additional 2,600 feet, although GPS Visualizer does think that some peaks are >100 feet higher than Garmin does.

If you find yourself wanting precise elevation data, who do you typically turn to?

More progress on my gps /gpx comparison tracker!!

The basis of the script to compare the tracks is here:

So much fun to do… and it looks like I am getting faster!… kindof
