x GPS (Global Positioning System) software
When I got my GPS, it came with some pretty cool software (Topo USA 6.0 and Street Atlas 2007), however it couldn't do everything I wanted it to.
It could give me information about my log files, but not as much as I wanted. So what do you do in that kind of circumstance?
Make your own software, of course. xGPS allows you to import a GPS log file as ASCII text (.txt or .csv) and analyzes it.
The main feature I wanted was to be able to zoom to certain sections of a log file and get the min/max/average speed, elevation, distance, etc.
That's what xGPS can give you that the other software couldn't.
I'm also working on some other features such as a graphical display window that can actually do mapping and even connect to a GPS device. Stay tuned.
