My Bike Route Home (Sort Of)

Tracked with my DG-100 GPS logger, mapped on Google Earth. Missing the bit at the end, and there's about 0.8 KM that didn't get tracked? See my calculation based on Google Maps, also the map of photos taken on this particular trip.

Thanks! Not going to take photos often on my bike route, though. Too tempting to pay attention to the photo I take, taking attention away from the road. I don't know how you do it!

I'm totally fine with logging my route and making fun Google Earth maps out of them though! :)

Hi, it's weird how paths cross and recross across the blogosphere and the device-o-sphere. I seem to hit your blog or your photos every once in a while. I'm the admin for a group called Commute Maps, and I'd love to have your photo added to the group.

A group for people mapping out their mundane routine? Count me in!

This is fascinating; I've just ordered a DG-100 and can't wait to get this going. It's something I've often considered doing.

Is there a way to export the data to something such as Google Maps etc and make a publicly-viewable map of your route?

Yes, the DG-100 comes with a CD-ROM that has a Windows application to export KML and other formats. If you have a Mac, you'll need to follow Jaako's slightly convoluted instructions to get it working (it's not his fault, it's not yet trivial to get the data when using a Mac).

The above comments will not display in the recently updated section because they are syndicated directly from the Flickr photo.
