Generate distance/elevation table from GPX data

[benzitney]

Hi everyone!

 

This is my first time here.

 

I'm trying to generate a table (such as in csv format) with distance & elevation data from a GPX file so I can recreate this chart:

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks,

Ben

Garmin's Basecamp will export in CSV.

On Android, Locus Map (-Pro and maybe -Free) will do that.

 

(This board won't let me embed .png images...) Here are examples.

It'll also record those tracks in the first place (or import GPX), and it's also a mighty fine caching app.

Basecamp will generate that graph for you, too.

 

If you want to work with the GPX file directly, there's an R package called "plotKML" that includes a function to read in GPX files. Regardless of what program you use to generate your own plots, you'll need to generate some bits of data yourself. 1. the distance between track points (Lat, Long, Elev, and Time are all that is given), and the cumulative distance at each track point. Finding distances from coordinate information is doable, but not a trivial calculation in excel. There are packages that do this more efficiently in R. But unless you're good with R or other data and stats packages, you might just let this up to Basecamp or Google Earth, or some other mapping software. By the way, this is true whether you use the GPX file directly or export a CSV from basecamp.

i usually just let the app display it, if course you can always tell the app to export the data as

gpx

csv

kml/kmz

tcx

dxf

ov2

gpsies

breadcrumbs

everytrail

ridewithgps

runkeeper

strava

velohero

traininfstagebuch.org

or open Street map

is one of those formats or hosting services might make displaying your graph easier.
