Hi HB
Well, I have got the 'total route' GPS file to display. I came to the same conclusion and had set time to seconds since day dot (I assume equals 'epoch'). All recording took place on the same day, but calculating from epoch does allow me to make a continuous time record, if recording goes past midnight.
My file records are as example below (attached, for ref, even though that problem is solved).
Position Time Latitude Longitude Elevation

Position241 3805947375 25.29215778 56.11785136 384.1585153

The negative elevation values are ok. Desert is often below global average sea level (If I want more accuracy I can adjust for local sea level variation. I'll do that later
.
I could also add a 'second since session zero' as well.
So, that does solve that part of the problem. ie. The data does display (the white track map in attached screenshot).
Thanks for pointing me in that direction
.
My second question is...
How do I get my individual video clips, that are often not sequential (ie. there are gaps between end clip one and start of clip two, etc) to show my position on the 'total route' track map.
I have joined the video clips for the display.
You can see (from the white track map, detail in the tool bar below the preview window) that the total journey time is 05hrs 07mins 02secs. At the screenshot time, the preview is 04min 23secs into the video. The green arrow shows progress along the 'total routes' track map.
You can also see (from the RaceRender exported individual video clip GPS data, in blue) that each of the clips is also showing the same progress in time! (each video clips is 8min 52secs in length, so it looks as though each is part way through the route). This is not what is needed.
The first video starts at approx 3 hours into the session.
I have made an example that shows, more or less, what I would like to see.
Hopefully it makes sense. My actual position displayed on the total routes track map, maybe with the individual clips highlighted.
Also, within this question is nested another...
The RaceRender exported individual video clip GPS data shows a different Time reference to that which I calculated by multiplying days by 86400 and adding the time in seconds.
So, is the time origin that RR is using, the Unix 1st Jan 1970? It seems that the TrackMe file is using 1st Jan 1900. I can recalculate and get the correct times, so that the files are in the same decade ;-) .
Again, If you can offer a solution, that would be great. It may just be a couple of menu options I am missing...
Kind Regards
Paul
