looking for tracks

[gebrabbel]

Hi
I'm looking for tracks
Assen, Netherlands
Zandvoort, Netherlands
Zolder, Belgium
Spa, Belgium

If someone already made them I really want them
Or is there a way to make them on a pc without being there?

Thanks

Mark

There is no "official" way of making tracks off line, however, if you look in the \MyDocuments\MyTracks folder after making a track it will be there (after saving it) and it is in readable XML so you might be able to copy and edit a track to suite your needs.

However, I can't supply any documentation for this at the moment, but we probably will when we have some time over since we recognize that this might be a useful feature for users to be able to predefine tracks.

I opend the file in excel but i want to know what everything means

MyTrack 0 0 Start 25 0 StartFinish 52,06332943 4,254761167 264,1
1=name
2=
3=
4= marker name
5
6
7
8 and Coordante
9 direction?

You should just open it in notepad or any other text editor. It's an XML file, so by the element and attribute names it should make the meaning clearer.

Basically it looks like this (can be changed without notice in newer versions of iLap):

Code: Select all

<Track>
  <Name>MyTrack</Name>
  <Position>
    <Latitude>0</Latitude>
    <Longitude>0</Longitude>
  </Position>
  <GateSet>
    <Name />
    <Gate>
      <Name>Start/Finish</Name>
      <Width>25</Width>
      <Ordinal>0</Ordinal>
      <GateType>StartFinish</GateType>
      <Latitude>57.840651666666666</Latitude>
      <Longitude>18.828400000000002</Longitude>
      <Heading>13.64</Heading>
    </Gate>
    <Gate>
      <Name>T1</Name>
      <Width>25</Width>
      <Ordinal>1</Ordinal>
      <GateType>Split</GateType>
      <Latitude>57.839733333333335</Latitude>
      <Longitude>18.830426666666664</Longitude>
      <Heading>171.14</Heading>
    </Gate>
  </GateSet>
</Track>


Name: Track name, change to whatever you like.
Position.Latitude/Longitude: Track position, not used for now

Gate.Name: Can change to what you want here, but keep it short, is displayed on lap timer screen.
Gate.Width: Gate width, in meters
Gate.Ordinal: Order of the gate in sequence, don't alter that to be out of order, should be from 0 and up in order for the gates.
Gate.Type: Must be StartFinish for forst gate, and Split for splits.
Gate.Latitude/Longitude: Lat and Lon of gate in degrees (negative for S/W, positive for N/E)
Gate.Heading: Compass heading of gate (we use directional gates, passing them backwards won't trigger them)

You can basically have as many Gate elements as your device's memory and performance can handle, no hard coded limit in iLap.

IMPORTANT: It is important that you use '.' as decimal point.

It didn't work I drove the route but it didn't start the laptimer only the current time was displayed and the log showed I drove the lap twice.

Ps you're from Denmark?

[Thomas]

Nothing wrong with the format as I can see, did you start a new session with "Open" and then selected the track?
Did you get the coordinates from your GPS?

Could you log a lap around the track and attach it here, so I can load it in the simulator and see what's up?

Almost Denmark, a little bit North, Sweden

I sellected the homemade track and opend it the log was ok.
See other topic.
Maybee close this topic and copy,.paste it to 1 topic to make it more organised.
