Don’t Lose Your Tracklogs! Hack #58
Tracklogs are the stuff of your stories. Here are simple ways to preserve
them for future use, and a harder but more satisfying way to annotate your
tracks.
GPS tracklog memories are great, until you run out of space. On one trip, I
had to decide whether I’d prefer to have some data for the whole trip, but
lose date and timestamps, or just lose the data for the end of the trip. That
choice continues to haunt me. Once you get started collecting tracklogs and
you explore their possibilities, you may become fanatically obsessed about
preserving these stories from your travels!
