Race Analyzer GPS map flipped
Posted: Tue May 06, 2014 3:06 am
One more buglet from this weekend's testing - looks like the north/south axis of the GPS dataview in Race Analyzer 1.1.15 is inverted.
The datalog's GPS entries are right - I extracted them from the logfile, sent them thru gpsvisualizer.com and got this nifty map, which represents Saturday's test-and-tune course. A correct coordinate pair from mid-course is 42.634686 -73.776878 (New York).
But Race Analyzer's GPS view flips the course outline top-to-bottom. If I use Excel to make both columns negative, I get a gpsvisualizer map that matches the Race Analyzer view, but now I'm autocrossing on the west coast of Chile. Looks like a simple sign change somewhere in the import code would fix it, but then it might not work in the southern hemisphere.
