[pct-l] GPS Insanity

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

Scott,
 This is most amusing! If I can figure out a use for your 'souvenir from 
hell', I will let you know and request all 7000 data points....

> During my hike last summer from Campo to Cajon Pass, I collected GPS data
> points every 5 seconds (chronological) or roughly, every 20 feet. The best
> accuracy on the GPS is about 14 feet.
>
> I collected the data using a Garmin eTrex legend. Using a home-brew
> application I wrote for my PDA prior to the trip and special serial cable,
> every evening I downloaded the data from the eTrex to the SD card on my 
> PDA.
> This was roughly 7,000 gps data points daily.
>
> Anyways, I have this insanely detailed map of that section of the PCT. 
> I've
> played with the data using gnuPlot in 2D and 3D, but I have no real use 
> for
> it. It's kinda the trip souviner from hell. :) If anyone has a use for 
> this
> data, I may make it available depending on what it is for, ie, no monetary
> gain. If anyone has an idea for displaying the data on a web page, lemme
> know. I don't want to recreate the wheel in the sense of making a map that
> already exists.

> Switchback's GPS thread led me to post this info. It's his fault. :)
