 Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 6:17 pm Post subject: New tool for routecreation? |
 |
|
I found this url from google maps for calculating a route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?output=kml&saddr=" + sAddy + "&daddr=" + dAddy
where sAddy = startadress & daddr = destination adress
You get an kml-outputfile.
This file had the waypoints and description like GMaptoGPS but it has also all tags with the detailed track.
Before, in trekbuddy, all waypoints where connected with a straight line. But the street is mostly not a straight line (ex a long motorway of 20km).
But, now, in this kml-file, all point of all turns in the streets are available.
Is it possible to import such an file in trekbuddy? Now, i can export the file to gpx but when I load the file and choose "route along", every point has an circle.
Sorry for my English

Hello periklast:
You can use the GPS Utility on http://www.gpsu.co.uk to convert the kml to gpx (the freeware version can work up to 100 waypoints):
- Open the kml file, choose 'Abort' option to ignore the full tracking information.
- Save as GPX format containing only the waypoints

This example shows the problem:
red = waypoint (with desciption "turn left/right,...") green = trkpt (intermediate points for fit the line on the street).
So, now in Trekbuddy, is see the left image, but if we can implement the trkpt points, you get te right image.

Why not simply use www.gpsies.com to convert the kml file?
Its webbased so there is no hussle with installed programs and it retains the trackpoints...
at the moment i dont know thou if it keeps the 'turn left' comments of the navigation

Here the kml & gpx file (kml->gpx with gpsbabel).
In the gpx, you see the normal waypoint for navigation ex
| Code: |
<wpt lat="51.068180000" lon="3.749640000">
<ele>0.000000</ele>
<name>Sla linksaf bij Sint-Bernadettestraat</name>
<cmt>rijd 1,1&#160;km</cmt>
<desc>rijd 1,1&#160;km</desc>
</wpt>.... |
But after that, there is an list of points (see previous post, the green spots):
| Code: |
<name>Route</name>
<trkseg>
<trkpt lat="51.072250000" lon="3.747500000">
<ele>0.000000</ele>
</trkpt>..... |
With these list of points, it's possible to get an detailed track (right image, previous post) and not an "raw" map like the left image.
Isn't that nicer to see that in trekbuddy instead of the "raw" route?

Thanks,
But I know that tool but the gpx-file only had the waypoints, so you get an route like the left image in my second post in this thread and not an detailed route

It also can generate detailed GPX files. You just have to choose "Full".

Ok, that works.
Only problem is
* long loading time of the file in my mobile
* A lot of circles, it would better only cirkles around the waypoints with an description ("turn left" etc) and the rest of the intermediate points only used for the detailed trackline.
But for now, problem solved Thanks

And if you replace each cmt tag with name, it will be displayed on the map for the active waypoint (e.x. "Turn right at King Street").

Uncheck Settings/Navigation/POI icons.
