Garmin F305 Running Data displayed within Blitz3D

This shows exported data from my Garmin Forerunner, which was then subsequently imported into my Blitz3D application allowing the data to be presented in 3 dimensions.

The graph below shows the raw data from the GPS(i.e. no smoothing) over a 23 minute run - notice slow at the left hand side & a bit faster towards the end - the right hand side, I tend to have a psrint finish in a vain attempt to beat my last time!

A slight confession - my speed does not undulate quite so wildy, this is due to the fact the x axis has been set out linearly at the moment, i.e it plots the speed in tandem with each update that was recorded by the Garmin. I have the data to calculate whether the gap was 1 or 4 seconds between each update - but Rome was not built in a day!



The graph below is showing about 3 and a half minutes of data from a 23 minute run.

My B3D app may allow four or 5 training runs to be compared in x,y and z planes.

that's really cool. I have a 305 garmin too, so if you want anyone to help test this let me know.

Cheers andy, will let you know when i make more progress.

Managed to get the graph accurately representing every second of a run now, bit less spiky....

Original graphs shown were only showing the instances when the GPS updated from the satellite which can vary from 1 to 6 or 7 seconds.

Comparing Garmin image to Blitz3D, still early days:

Managed to sling together a GUI which will allow you to pick up to 3 exported Garmin files:



The image below shows a 2.5 mile 'run' compared to a 4.5 mile bike ride. Note that the x axis is 'time' and the y-axis is speed - the bike plot shows roughly 23 mile on hour - on my mountain bike at that! Note the 3D graph below was plotted at 1920 x 1200, which has been scaled down some what for tinternet. Think I need to configure a 'drop out' algorithim. Had one on my Amiga 1200, just need to go and boot that & suss out the algorithim from the code (its in the loft...)
