I saw some stuff at my last job - I'll try to contact the guy that had it.



It was pretty neat!

Try FlightSoft and Vista Moving Map. Vista has a flight record function that will leave a trail of points that follows your movement. Timing of points is adjustable.

Try Google Mashups.  If you google bike mashup you will find some tutorials.

Takes a little fussing around, but it is free.



Not aviation based, but you can zoom down on land details.

This is fabulous software, designed for glider pilots.  You would  

have to check to be sure it can handle your data.  It is most  

commonly used with .igc files that glider data loggers generate, but  

I know some people use it with common Garmin hiking units.

Bill,



I don't see it on their website, but Blue Mountain had some software for

analyzing data from their EFIS/one that would plot a 3d map of your flight.

I download the tracks from my Garmin GPS into the Garmin MapSource program.

 It requires that you have purchased some MapSource data from Garmin, of

course, so you have a map to overlay it on, but I have most of North

America so it works for me.



I experimented with downloading the track and converting it to an XML file

that I could read into a website and overlay on a Google map... It worked

very well, but I found that the performance seriously bogged down beyond

about 50 points in the GPS track.  It works great for tracking yourself if

you're jogging or hiking, but not so good when you fly across country.



Here's a website showing how it works for runners.  I wanted to do the same

thing for pilots, but the API can't handle the large number of points in a

typical flight track.

If you can save the tracking data to a file, and send it to me, I bet I 

could figure out how to import it into Street Atlas USA.  I have 

automated setting way points from files with lat long points in them.  

It's possible it will import straight in, worst case I just have to 

write a simple program that converts the data to the right format.  

Street Atlas USA is a pretty inexpensive mapping program with street 

maps of all of the USA and I think some in Canada and Mexico too.

Update...  I am not necessarily looking for aviation mapping, but topo =

mapping for tracking dirt biking trips...



Thanks!

Hi Bill,



The http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ does topo overlays.  Under 'Draw A Map' -> 

'Background Map' -> 'USGS: Topo Map: tiles'.  You can also upload your GPS data 

(2 MB worth) for plotting.



There's also some pretty cool demos - look under 'Examples' from the main page.



Regards,

FWIW, my Pilot III handheld shows a "trail of breadcrumbs" on the map

display, and the maps are suprisingly accurate (for me), and will scale way

down.
