[HAMR] 25th October - Teethgrinder Day 79/298

[Shreds]

Clocks back last night in England. Steve out with a 9:25am start heading Eastwards across MK.

Have a great day Steve!

[Wobbly John]

I't a lovely day at the moment in the Cambridgeshire fens.

 Go Steve!

[Justin(e)]

The hard days are about to begin - the clock change foreshadows it.

Allez Steve

Lovely day in deepest mid-Essex.

Allez Steve!

Not really understanding the various tracking today: Google track show a trip up to Wyboston Lakes and back, before heading off on the more normal direction of Cambridgeshire, whilst Spot track omits this altogether. (As might be expected).

It will be interesting to see what Strava has to report tonight.

It looks to me like the Google routing algorithm use in Ivan's tracker site is failing to realise that you can turn right here.

All tracking seems to have corrected but with a different start time?

I believe that tracker uses the spot track points then tries to find a google route through them (or a subset).  As the day goes on,  the trackleaders site starts to thin out the points it shows for the earlier part of the day.  I'm guessing that it hass pruned the point out that the start time being quoted was based upon.  Trackleaders may also have pruned out a point or two that was forcing the google route to go the weird way.

The alternative Ivan site:-

just presents the spot tracker points, but saves them during the day so that the early points stay the same, even once the trackleaders site starts to thin out the early part of the track.

Yep, I normally find Ivan's site to be the most reliable until Steve uploads the Strava data.
