very simple

Yeah, I’m a little obsessed with mapping.

I finally figured out how to export my pathtracks data to an actual google map so that I could link directly rather than take a screenshot. Also, moving it to google maps allowed me to adjust the path. Thanks to the limitations of gps, or my phone, or pathtracks, i was tracked riding “through” many manhattan buildings instead of down the actual street. It also seemed to think that when I hit the tunnels around grand central (admittedly a gps black hole), that I doubled back for about half a mile. so “straightening” out my route eliminated about a mile from what pathtracks said I had actually biked. Which was good (more accurate) and bad (I really thought I had gone that extra mile!). On the plus side, maybe this is why the summer streets people think that the route they marked out is 6.9 miles long, when in reality it’s closer to 5 miles.

As usual, this is the one-way route. For some reason the crashes get more frequent on the way back so it never saves properly.
