Logpos looks good.
I recently installed Logpos on our Go920 (8.351)and it seems to work good but I need to adjust the configuration file to better suit my needs..
With the default configuration file I got close to what I would like, I was able to use:
GPS Visualizer: Map a GPS data file with Google Earth
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=googleearth
to convert the .itn file to see where we went. We like to keep track of where we ride on our motorcycle so if we can find our way back if we should remember a road or something we want to see again. I was using TripMaster which does even more but I really did not need all that, just want to record where we have been when we are out riding - no we don't want to go to any place in particular, just enjoying the ride, and we don't want to stop and set positions in the GPS, many times the idea to return only comes days later, we may be talking and remember somewhere that was nice..
All went well with LogPos but the resulting file was not detailed enough to show which roads we were using - the .itn file showed different waypoints but they were too far apart. In three hours, over 100 miles of riding, I ended up with maybe 20 waypoints.
I have changed the option
FlagITNFull=yes
hoping it will give more positions. I turned off the
FlagTxt =no
and kept the FlagITN=yes to keep the log from getting too big.
Has anyone used this program and if so can you recommend better settings for my situation? The goal is to be able to load the final .itn into Google Earth and play the tour to see where we rode that day. Most rides/trips are 150 miles or less, and I don't want the log file to be too big to work with GoogleEarth.
I am afraid setting logpos to record in the .itn file every 10-15 seconds will be too much.
thanks in advance
