Great Circle Distance Maps, Airport Routes, & Degrees/Minutes/Seconds Calculator. This page is designed to help you calculate answers to some common geographic questions and draw maps from simple coordinates. If you have any problems or get unexpected results, please let me know! Coordinate Converter This form will try to read whatever you enter and convert it to three formats: decimal degrees, degrees-minutes, and degrees-minutes-seconds. Calculate the great circle distance between two points This calculator will find the distance between two pairs of coordinates to a very high degree of precision (using the thoroughly nasty Vincenty Formula, which accounts for the flattened shape of the earth). Calculate the distance between two addresses This calculator will find the straight-line (great circle) distance between two locations of any kind: street addresses, city names, ZIP codes, etc. Draw a direct route between airports Draw routes between multiple airports Draw range rings around a point Find the coordinates at a given distance and bearing.
GPS Data Visualization - Variations. UrbanTick Monday, 22 June 2009 GPS Data Visualization - Variations There are lots of different possibilities of GPS data viualizations. For your joy I have put together a not comprehensive list of examples. The variety is striking and so is the range of software, although oft I have not been able to find out how it is done. Different examples of GPS data visualizations is a list of animations but also a list of approaches. GPS drawing Week_13 Top Vormstudie from Rnul Interactive on Vimeo.

The problem: Sometimes you have geographic data that consists only of latitudes and longitudes, but you want to know the altitudes as well — because, for example, you want to colorize points by height above sea level, or draw a profile of a track.
Here are some common reasons why you might have "flat" or incomplete data: Your GPS device does not log altitude, or you had poor satellite reception when you recorded the track. Your GPS device does log altitude, but it's not very accurate. You drew a track using the drawing tools in Google Earth or a similar application, like GPS Visualizer's Sandbox. You have a KML file that came from Google Maps or Google Earth's "driving directions" feature.
You created a route in Google Maps and have the URL of that route. You have an NMEA log file that contains only "GPRMC" sentences, not "GPGGA. " Solution #1: DEM database Solution #2: Google Maps API Quick single-point DEM database lookup: Web interface to GPSBabel. English Dutch French German Italian Norwegian Portuguese Spanish GPSBabel is a freeware program that converts GPS data from one format to another.
NOTE: For many input formats -- including GPX, OziExplorer, Geocaching.com LOC, Garmin Forerunner, Cetus GPS, IGC, and more (including some that GPSBabel can't read, like NetStumbler binary files) -- you can also convert your GPS files to plain text, GPX, or Google Earth KML with conversion tool. Google Earth: To convert files to KML/KMZ for Google Earth, you might want to try GPS Visualizer's Google Earth input form, which has more options than GPSBabel. Return to the main GPS Visualizer page. Draw a map from a GPS data file. Other map forms: Google Earth KML/KMZ, Quantitative data This form will automatically draw your GPS data (or KML/KMZ file, or plain text data in CSV or tab-delimited format) overlaid upon street maps and satellite imagery in Google Maps.
Please note that creating a map with a very large number of waypoints (or very long tracklogs, especially if speed or altitude colorization is enabled) can cause your Web browser to grind to a halt. If you don't have GPS data and want to interactively draw on a map, use GPS Visualizer's "sandbox" to create your own GPX or KML file.
