Excellent! This is just the type of thing I was looking for. It seems it’s built for version 1, has anyone configured the code for version 2?

Is it easy to add an elevation graph to the bottom of the google map? It'll be cool to see the elevation change while the google map draws.

Very cool tool!

Is there a way to pause or delay the route drawing before start so as to give the map time to load.

I was able to add map.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_TYPE);

to only show SAT images as there are no maps for my area yet.

Nice work

http://www.gpsbabel.org/ can export to Garmin Log XML format which can then be used here.

Any progress on Safari support? Do you know what particular code kills Safari?

Hi Nick,

Somehow your Garmin should be able to export an XML file. I would guess it is in the same format as my friend's. Save that xml file to your webserver. Next, in the javascript file, change this line

request.open("GET", "bike1.xml", true);

to request.open("GET", "locationofyourxmlfile.xml", true);

Hopefully this helps you out and good luck with your cause.

Hi Guys. This is great.

I have a Garmin 201. I'm using it to record all my training runs as part of my build up to London Marathon 2006. I've created a blog to try to raise awareness and money for NSPCC in their campaign against cruelty to children.

I'd like to use your idea to map runs so that it makes my site more interactive and encourages people to visit and sponsor me.

Problem - I know nothing about languages, programming etc. - I'm an accountant! Is there something I can download to help me? I'm lost with what you're discussing above.

I'd appreciate your help.

Oh, you can ignore that line. It was there to track how many people viewed the Map, but we forgot to take it out for the download. Sorry about that.

Sorry, the code didn't show up. I was just asking about the reference to /shortstat/inc.stats.php in the source code.

Thanks,

Steve
