OziExplorer. Open the Track Control window and click on the Show Track List button. All the data for
each track point is shown, along with the distance, speed and heading between each track point.

Not a problem, as you click on each track point in the track list a rifle sight type cursor appears
on the track to indicate where that track point is, so you can easily relate the two. Looking at a
recent Gower walk I can see that my speed when climbing a sandy path was roughly 2.5kph. Faster than
I thought at the time, I hate walking through sand but climbing a hill in the stuff is horrible.
Also Ozi can display a speed profile of your walk, plotted against either distance or time. The
trouble is that I stop to take photos so often that even a gentle Gower stroll ends up looking like
a Himalayan skyline. I imagine a graph of a cycle ride would be a lot smoother, I'm less prone to
take frequent photos when cycling.
Yes, a cycle ride looks much better. I notice that I hit 40kph on one short downhill section. I also
notice that on a couple of training rides the profile drops to zero a few times even though I know
for a fact that I didn't stop and kept my speed quite constant throughout. The track points are
detached too, so it looks like I probably lost lock a few times. Easy to spot the spurious points, I
definitely didn't go over 50kph at any time.
