Snowboarding GPS Foo
After last year’s snowboarding GPS fun, I decided once again to carry a GPS for this year’s trip to St Anton, so I could keep a record of where we boarded.
Using Rob’s, now slightly battered, Garmin Etrex Legend C, I set the GPS to record our location every 2 seconds and put it in my jacket pocket for the day.
At the end of each day, I downloaded our traces from the GPS onto my laptop using GPSBabel, then at the end of the trip, loaded them all into Google Earth and munged them around a bit (mostly cosmetic) and saved them all into one KML file.
If you fancy having a look at where we boarded, download the KML file here (right click and save), and open it in Google Earth.
More detailed instructions here from last year’s trip to Obertauern
If you don’t feel like downloading Google Earth, here’s a less interesting 2D Google Maps version
Update: see our photos from the trip
