Converting KML to GPX and upload to activities

2011-11-24T16:11:40+00:00

Hi,

I’ve been using android’s MyTracks for quite a while, and made some tracks that I exported to Google Maps to share with my MTB friends, and then saddly deleted from phone.
However, because I discovered Map My Tracks I am now usig Orux Maps and sending the track to my acount, wich is by far, better then having the track on google maps.

Ok, so far so good, but now I want to add the older KML activities, but I discovered that KML files are not suported.
So I converted the files from KML to GPX using a freeware program called GPS Babel and try to upload it, but got the error of “Divide by zero on line XXXX”.
There are several options and filters on the program, but I’m no expert so I tried a couple of different settings, but always came up with the same error when uploading to map my tracks.

Can someone please help? I want to upload 6 different files!

Thanks!

location selection for activity

2011-12-09T02:26:56+00:00

Using OutFront on my iPhone 4, it grabs a specific location for my activity which I don’t want to use:

Walking @ Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus Church, United States on 5 Dec 2011

I can’t see any way to change the location. Is there a way to do so?

thanks,
Mike

Adding Activity Manually to Website and synching with phone problems.

2011-12-05T21:04:18+00:00

When I manually add my activity to the website, it does not show up on my iPhone app and I can’t find a synch button anywhere on the website. I choose synch on my phone but it still does not show up.

Is there something I am missing?

Thank You.

accumulation of data

2011-11-25T16:25:35+00:00

The Activity data is accumulated on the website for one week periods. Can one accumulate data for a month, a year or some other period? I imported data from my Garmin covering a three year period, and only about 12 of the most recent activities can be found. Am I missing something?

Many issues

2011-02-22T16:37:55+00:00

I bought MapMyTracks over a year ago but don’t use it because I find the interface confusing and frustrating. For example, I created an event that shows up on the iPhone as “miscellaneous” even though I changed it on the website to skiing. (I wanted it to be skiing in the first place but the iPhone app wouldn’t let me choose that.) The stats on the iPhone are also wrong; they say my max speed during the event was 6.6mph even though the website shows the max speed as 23kph. I cannot change the units on the website so I’m stuck in kph, another frustration.

Side frustration: I cannot find a way of changing my avatar from the default “wink” icon.

Really, I do not understand why this app and site have to be so hard to use. Why can there not just be obvious buttons for “edit” and “change” for mistakes in an event? Why can the data on the site not synch properly with the data on the iPhone? And the area where I skied (at Whistler) is just a big blank white area instead of a proper map. Even the free Jackson Hole app shows your tracks on a trail map, so I used that at Jackson instead of MapMyTracks; it simply worked better. Please improve your app and site so that I will have an interest in using it and possibly recommending it.

hung on synchronizing activity…using iphone 4

2011-10-16T17:30:07+00:00

I was not a particularly large upload but it just hangs at the syncronize activity screen….in order to end the process I have to turn off my phone otherwise it just sits on the syncronize activity screen for hours…..

Livetracking on our site

2011-11-17T22:20:28+00:00

Hi guys, newbie here :)

Iused to use TrackR when i had my Omnia (WM) now i switched to Galaxy S and found this great apps fopr Android. Using Oruxmap.

Now to my question. With TrackR i was able to put snippet of code to my site and when i was online, map was refreshing on my site, giving our visitors clear view where we are flying at the moment (yes i’m hotair balloon pilot ;) )

Is this possible with mapmytracks?

Thank you in advance

Activitiies are recording very inaccurate information.

2011-10-31T02:24:29+00:00

I had two separate activities today, Sunday 10/30. The 1st activity in the list was a 4.25 mile walk. Average activity speed was 3.2 Miles. This information did not record. I was with my husband and his recorded correctly and we have the same exact settings. When you look at the activity you will see very strange information. I actually walked in a rectangular path and the map shows heavy black lines going every which way.

The second activity was earlier in the day and also a walk. I walked 1.25 miles at an average speed of 3 5. This did not record correctly.

These two activities also posted the bogus amt of miles on Monday 10/31 instead of today, 10/30.

Please tell me how this can be fixed.

Thank you.
