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.

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
