We wanted to upload the better GPS tracks that we got on the trip. I tried to get lots of our hikes and boating excursions, but it is still kind of a pain to carry around the GPS tracker (former smartphone), especially when on the beach and in the water. But at least I got a few tracks down. So here they are. Just a tip, you can see the tracks a lot better if you click the link in yellow with the track name just above each map. It will take you to the Breadcrumbs website, which is easier to navigate around each track. Clicking the Satellite button on the map also gives you a much better idea of where we were, especially in Exuma.

Right on Track
Now that we're finally back in front of a normal computer, we can actually start uploading all of our stuff from the last month! As much as people would have you believe that you can do everything on a smartphone--you can't. At least not without a lot of frustration and half-baked posts. I guess in 2 or 3 more years you might be able to do it all with a tablet or smartphone, but right now this 5 year old computer with Windows XP is easier to use than a brand new tablet. Anyway, now that my rant is done, on to the actual post.

Have I converted you Jay? Just for kicks, stick up one of the GPX tracks somewhere accessible and then jump on google maps and put the URL to the GPX in the search bar. Unless it's hilariously long, google maps will load it natively..
ReplyDeleteHehe, no heart monitor yet. That's cool with the Google maps. I wish they had a better UI for organizing your tracks. I like breadcrumbs because it syncs with an open source GPS tracker app that ive got and you can easily import/export all of your stuff in any format.
