Google Map or Running Route

I tried this but the resulting link I was presented with was a 404.
Here is the link I was given to view my log:

Hello,

I've written an application which takes Garmin Forerunner (201 and 301)
history files and creates a lot of data and graphs, but also a map of
the route (using google maps).

Its free to use and I'd be interested in any feedback you may have.
For now, it supports the following:

- pace, speed, distance, time, calories per run and per lap
- Graphs for the altitude, pace, speed, and pace & altitude together.
- It supports imperial (feet, miles) and metric (meters, km).

I had to limit the size of the history files which could be uploaded to
my website to 2 MB. However, if you do not know how to break up your
history file or want more of your routes displayed, just send them to
me via email.

You can access it at the following:

Enjoy, and dont forget to tell me what you think.

Hi Jason,

I just did a quick test and it worked for me. I also checked my logs
and yes I see that you tried to access that page and that its not
really there.

When the app created your logs and you got a page saying:

"Your file was successfuly processed, the log files are available
<here>."

Do you remember if there was an error message on that page?

Do you mind sending me the file, I'll debug it myself to see why it
failed and I'll send you back the proper link.

PS: I've added a few more logs to help debug the problem, but the
easiest way is for me to try it out with your history file.

Thanks,
~Bruno

I tested this thing out with the output from my Forerunner 201 and it
works great! It is very cool to see you runs over-layed on a Google map
or a satellite image.

Give this a little more polish Bruno and I'd say you could market it to
the Garim Foreruner users out there, or perhaps strike up some sort of
deal with Garmin directly. They could offer this service from their site.

Anyway, great work!
-Jason

Garmin already has a web based service: www.motionbased.com

My app isn't ready to compete with a comercial product (yet) and I mean
no disrespect to motionbased (it looks like a good product), but I do
see advantages in each app, my biggest probably being I support the
newer Garmin Training Center History File format.

Bruno,

I was think yesterday that one think you may want to try to work in is
some total ascent/descent calculations and perhaps max altitude. One
thing I wish the display on my Gamin Foreruner 201 had, that my Suunto
Vector has is this. I think it could probably be gleaned from the
elevation data in the history file. So, to be more clear, I think it
would be interesting to know how many feet I ascended and descended in a
particular run. If you are running hills, just subtracting the low point
from the high point is not enough, it needs to be a tally of all the
positive elevation gains. Does that make sense?

My $0.02,
Jason

Thank you for your suggestion.

I've added ascent/descent stats for the entire run, as well as on a per
lap basis.

I've also added a button to each graph to allow you to flip between
distance based and time based graphs.

If anybody else has any suggestions, please let me know.
