adding a map with 'where is he now' should be fairly piss easy as well but haven't done it yet, i'll do it if i'm bored one night in the week

Snap, I got a bit bored yesterday, so knocked up a 'where is he now' page: http://audaxclubhackney.co.uk/tg.html - still very much a work in progress. I'm trying to snap the tracking points to roads using google routing to get a better idea where he has gone.
Ive just come back to this - if the "caption" data is correct, this is now brill! But ...

rigjht now it reads
91miles (google route) in
8h45m
that's surely way too slow. What's gone wrong?  :-\

I haven't managed account for this discrepancy yet. Does the first tracker point start at his house, or is there a bit of stealth 'hiding' going on?

Stealth hiding is in place.
I was an accountant until I discovered Audax !!

Ah ok, thanks. (trying to keep track of all these changes is like chasing leaves!)

So how does that work? His first SPOT cross of the day is at 0620h ish,  and no more than 5 miles from his house: Did he start a LOT earlier than that,  and do a loop of >>5miles to get to that first cross?

Maybe it's better not to know, I'm certainly not looking to unpick the security for obvious reasons, and happy to leave it as is.

Is the Strava data also being ... "finessed"?
