Smoother Flight + ATV

We improved the flight algo, now it's less "bumpy".
Our approach in case of obstacles between the cameraman and the little yellow guy was too aggressive. Now, the cameraman takes it easy and moves quickly only when the yellow guy is completely lost, otherwise he moves slowly.

Added the ATV aka All Terrains Vehicle to the activities. If you need other activities, just ask.

IMPORTANT BUG FIXED: In the last days it was impossible to sign up because of a bug, now it works again. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks to pierrega who reported it.

SRTM Data

We improved the SRTM data feature for tracks without elevation data or elevation set to zero. In such cases gpsfly will attempt to fill the elevation using publicly available SRTM data. There is an example: http://gpsfly.org/a/343. We fetch the data as needed, so for tracks in regions where there is no data yet, the upload may be a little bit slower.

Activities

It's now possible to specify the activity of the track when you upload it.
Registered users can also specify/modify the type of the track on their homepage.
Icons are heavily inspired by Google Maps Icons.

When & Where

Added "when" and "where" to the track description:

• When indicates the date the track was recorded (only for tracks with time information, we use first found time)
• Where indicates the country and - if possible - the state/region of the starting point (we use Google Geo Location API and try to extract something meaningful from the results it returns)
  

Example: http://gpsfly.org/g/

Garmin TrackPointExtension

Fixed the bug with Garmin TrackPointExtension handling, now data is imported properly.

Those data usually consist of things like hearth rate, cadence, temperature. Examples of tracks with such data:

http://gpsfly.org/a/278
http://gpsfly.org/a/5

New version is online

We have decided to put online the new version of gpsfly, despite its incompleteness, because we were a little lost in the development. Feedback is appreciated.

So, now what's new?

• You can analyze your track on a special page, where different graphs like speed and elevation are shown. Here you find an example: http://gpsfly.org/a/283
• Track summary: average speed, time, moving time, pace, hearth-rate, temperature, etc
  
• User personal homepage
  
• Drag and drop upload on the personal page (except IE)
• Edit track title and description on the personal homepage
  
• Improved track player: play backward, proportional speed, track position control slider
• Support for tracks in the sky (paragliding, airplane, etc). Example: http://gpsfly.org/g/17
  
• Help tooltips (that you can disable)
• For more interactivity there is a discussion group, where you can report bugs and suggest features.

Work in Progress: User Homepage

User page, upload tracks by drag and drop, edit title and description, delete.
Coming: labels and activities
