GPS Tracking with google map background
Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2018 9:46 am
Hello,
Sorry I use a translator
I would like to talk about a function that should be improved at Elite.
Being able to follow a recorded GPS track with a barometric gps watch, and thus faithfully reproduce the slopes of this track with the google map trainer and map background.
Coming from the Tacx world and before buying my Direto, I asked some questions about the forum and the Elite Staff.
I asked if I could do a gpx background with google map background, I was told that it was necessary to use the format .kml for google, it's ok for me, no matter the format if the result that I seek is the good.
Unfortunately this is not good at all, where tacx allows me to reproduce relatively faithfully the slopes of a known circuit, the Elite version with GoogleMap reduces the number of points and the smoothing is not progressive, so between each point the slope does not correspond, the circuit has therefore not at all the same relief as in reality.
It is too simplified to pretend to train, add to that a Direto latency to simulate the slope, the result is simply bad.
I did not think there could be such differences between manufacturers from a software point of view. In addition, Tacx offers this free feature that works pretty well.
At Elite this function is not interresting, it is better to do a training or read RL video
I had made comments to Tacx that I will also do Elite, the quality of the software offer is important for this kind of product, it can make the best trainer bad ...
Is there a way in Elite to get to the result I had with Tacx?
Thanks for your help
Raphael
