GPS Data

Below are links to MapSource files that include track data I recorded ("Executive team") using the Garmin III+ and Jamie (A Team) recorded using the Garmin eTrex. The III+ has more bells and whistles but does not log altitude whereas the eTrex does.

These files contain three types of data:

• Waypoints, which are named in two formats, CO# which are from the '98 ride and have no significance other than we must have been there and [d# D t#], where [d#] is the day number, and [t#] is the turn number on the route sheet. For example, 1D14 is day 1, turn 14.
• Saved Tracks, which are compressed track data and missing the time and speed info.
• Active track log, which are the full track as recorded and includes time and speed.

Note: right click the links to save the target file if you don't have these file types registered on your PC; otherwise left click to open the file on this page.

With the MapSource application, track and waypoint data can be exported as a text file then imported into Excel or any other appropriate application. The xls file above is based on data from the D3Jamie.mps file and is used to generate the profiles shown on some of the topo detail pages.
