I know this is geeky - but I set the TomTom to track our ride today… a few errant details but for the most part correct :slight_smile:

You big geek you mat!!

hope you had a nice day, wish i could have made it but had the kidz

3

how do you get your tomtom to do that??

4

Very cool Matt, though I’m not sure about having speeds on there, are you!? Also, what’s with the whole of south London?

5

we were much faster on the way home, hehe

6

We were indeed, if in different ‘parcels’. Brisk and smooth I’d call it.

Nothing that would cause an officer of the law to raise an eyebrow, but some speed cameras had to be slowed down for.

(Interpret the frown as you wish… :whistling

7

What’s with all these esoteric files that I can’t open Matt?!

Explain how I use that pleaaaaase

8

Westie - did you use your tomtom to get home??

9

he he yeah download google earth and it works.

Yes… haven’t quite worked out how to removed the speed information - also I said it had some errant data in there from my last couple of trips… tried to remove but no luck.

To record the information I use this software

and then this to convert the file into the KML

Works a treat :slight_smile: When I remember to reset the tracker before I leave home :wink:

ahhh okay have worked out where all that data was coming from! There’s about a weeks worth there - including trips to hospital, work, shops and college! :slight_smile: Worked it now so it’s just our ride from yesterday… download the KML file here
