If you open your map and see nothing but ocean, then zoom out and discover that you're looking at the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, that probably means your latitudes and longitudes somehow got interpreted as zeroes, and you're looking at the intersection of the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Similarly, latitudes are assumed to be in the Northern Hemisphere unless they are negative or include an "S". Longitudes greater than zero (positive numbers) are interpreted as being east of 0° unless they are marked with a "W": the coordinates "40.7,-74.0" (or "N40.7,W74.0") point to New York City, but "40.7,74.0" will take you to a lonely ridge in Kyrgyzstan. If you were expecting a map of somewhere in North America but you got Central Asia instead, that means your points were not properly marked as being in the Western Hemisphere. Add a "type" column and fill it with T or W as appropriate.įor more information, see the plain-text data tutorials.(if you have names in a different field, like "Site ID" or "Company," just rename it that field to "name," or use the "synthesize names" feature in the advanced options.) If you want waypoints, add a "name" field to your data you probably want to define names anyway, as they make for a more useful map.In the input form, set the " Force plain text" drop-down menu to the appropriate option.So, if your waypoints are erroneously read as trackpoints (or vice versa), there are a few different things you can do to fix it: In the absence of a "name" column, the default will be a continuous line (trackpoints). If there is a "name" column, the default behavior will be to read your file as discrete points (waypoints). If there is a "type" column filled with T's or W's (indicating trackpoints or waypoints), there will be no question. ![]() When you upload plain-text data, GPS Visualizer tries to guess what kind of data it is. What's the difference between "heading" and "course"?.What's the difference between "markers" and "waypoints"?.Which geodetic datum does GPS Visualizer use?.I saved an SVG and tried to open it in Adobe Illustrator, but the background map isn't showing up.I selected a background for my SVG map, but nothing is showing up.Where do the backgrounds in the SVG/JPEG/PNG maps come from?.Which output format should I use: SVG, JPEG, or PNG?.How can I animate my tracks in Google Earth?.I have a KML/KMZ file full of addresses how can I get their coordinates?.How can I exclude certain background map choices from the map type control on a Leaflet/Google Map?.Can I include custom background tile layers in my map?.Which background maps are available in a Leaflet or Google Map created by GPS Visualizer?.What's the best way to incorporate the map into my Web page? Can I put multiple maps on the same page?.How do I insert my Leaflet/Google Map into another Web page?.How can I save my Leaflet/Google Map on my desktop or my own Web site?.How can I print my Leaflet/Google Map or save it as a JPEG?.How can I change an older Google Map to a Leaflet map so I don't have to deal with an API key?.I have a large GPX file or Garmin Logbook/TCX file, and I don't want my ENTIRE file to be mapped how can I only map some of the tracks?.Are the names of my data files important?.In which units should the coordinates, elevation and speed be represented? My data is in tab-delimited or comma-separated text files.I uploaded a KML file from the "Google Maps Engine," and none of its markers are showing up.Why are all my tracks gray (or white, or red), even though I chose another color in the input form?.Why are all my points showing up in China (or Kyrgyzstan, or off the coast of Africa)?.My map is too skinny how can I make it closer to square?.I tried to map a collection of waypoints where one of the points was a long way from the others, and the far-flung point is not showing up or, my file contains one or two waypoints that are far away from my other points, and I don't want to plot the "outliers.".I plotted both track data and waypoints, but some of my waypoints are not appearing on the map.I want to map a collection of individual points, but GPS Visualizer keeps connecting the points with a line as if they were a "track.".Can I publish a GPS Visualizer map or profile in a book or article?.Is GPS Visualizer available as a standalone application that I can download and use off-line?.What are GPS Visualizer's system requirements?.I got the output to look just right, and now I want to save those settings for the next time I make a map.Do you take suggestions for new/enhanced features?.
