Silly STRAVA Racing

Although I should probably ask what your end goal in all this is?

The end goal is to show all of my rides on the one map... simples..

Smart, in that case if all you're after is (and I mean this in no patronising way at all) a pretty picture then Google Maps and a screen grab is possibly your best way forward. I mean if you don't want the ultra geek stats.

Yup, in a nutshell.
All my rides showing all the roads I have cycled on the one map.

Though I can't see how to upload a gpx file to google maps.

This might help http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/

Let me know if you get stuck and I'll see if I have time to write you a quick guide or something.

Okay, here goes:

1. Go to Google maps
2. Click on my places
3. Click create map
4. Give your new map a name
5. Click the import link and import all the data that you wish to

I'm afraid it doesn't look like you can make multiple uploads, but there's probably some fairly easy way of combining GPX files into one mammoth GPX.

Cheers.
Would have to convert them to KML files first.
But may have ago when I have a week spare

Ahem, you might want to check that again...

I did think that with the strong wind it would be good day to ride that segment.

Well done sir.

Nothing chased tonight, right bearing failure (not a part on the bike) :-/

 

[HLaB]

I might give that a whizz bang whirl then.



Can you make your rides & information on Strava private?

You can probably make individual rides private but I prefer strava to other sites because you can easily make your home (and other post codes) private :-)

The only problem with that is I have a KOM on the main road near me - it's by road out of privacy range, but within the minimum privacy distance in a circle from home, and it doesn't show. And I'm way faster than anyone else (PS I did not set it) as it's on a main road - little 'bump' of a climb.

I thought you could view all your rides on google earth via the garmin software anyway?

Doesn't work that well, as I want a road map.

I see what you mean.

Well, move house then.
