Help me please :)

[chrisontour84]

Hey there! I used OruxMaps for a couple of times for my hikes in El Chalten and now just returning from Torres del Paine but I am having troubles understanding or it is a bug, I am not sure and maybe you can help me



I understand that the App records both total and moving time, I am only interested in the actual moving time and not in the time I spent standing somewhere. I already adjusted my interface to only show the actual moving time and I make 100% sure that I stop recording over night and then start it again the next morning when I start hiking. However, for some reason the App still records a huge overall MOVING time! For instance in my 5 day Torres del Paine hike it recorded 131.99 km in 122 hours and 26 minutes, which I certainly did not move hehe



As a result, it shows me an average moving speed of 1.07km/h and the interesting option of checking how far a point is away on a map is a bit useless as well because it tells me huge times for small difference because its based on the average moving speed I suppose.



Can someone help me with this please?



I am also looking for a way to display my tracks and waypoints created in OruxMaps on the web to eventually put it on my blog. I created an account on Openstreetmaps.org but can't find a way to actually visualize the maps.





Thanks so much

Chris

Hello, Chris;



When you restart saving the track the next day, you have to select 'start a new segment' instead of 'countinue the track'.

Hm i see.. and how can i get the map up to openstreetmap please?



Nothing shows up there after importing the .GPX... https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-50.9903/-73.1691">https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/-50.9903/-73.1691

I usually do this a lot in my expeditions of canyoning and there is no problem. I stop the recording and the next day I continue the track. Simple like that.



As for your question about sharing your tracklogs I suggest Google My Maps. With it you have the option of a code to put on your site.  See if you like

Is that the same as Google Maps Engine plus? Thats what im using already but i dont know how to add GPX files to it!

Hm no one else with some help on how to visualize it? I would like to use openstreetmap, there must be way to get the track displayed there??

I think there is some misunderstanding. If you upload a track to openstreetmap.org it's not for visualizing but for improving/editing the map. There are other tools for that, e.g.
