benzitney Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 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: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gALJqt_6MfP5VBdbXha7H05LbDwZmFjsEzuYAXr9frt8G6fhzinrlZRoTy-YU4y_o-nD6aHUD63xgw=w736-h147-no Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Garmin's Basecamp will export in CSV. Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 On Android, Locus Map (-Pro and maybe -Free) will do that. (This board won't let me embed .png images...) Here are examples. http://docs.locusmap...cks:tracks7.png http://help.locusmap...LapSeFYhGzS.png It'll also record those tracks in the first place (or import GPX), and it's also a mighty fine caching app. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Ben 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.
