Multiple File Uploads #6

I would love to see a way to add multiple GPX files to the software to permit viewing multiple routes. For example, I run a local running club that does a weekly run from the same starting point but different routes. I thought it would be really cool to show the multiple routes on a single map. This would not be possible for the FollowCam and would require some time normalization if the routes don't start at the same time. Would be really cool for scavenger hunts or orienteering events where folks take different routes.

That's an interesting idea, do you imagine the multiple routes playing back at the same time on the map? Perhaps something like Strava's fly-by feature that shows the path different intersecting runners took?

You're right that it's tricky to come up with a way to synchronize them without timings embedded in the gpx file (i.e. routes instead of activities), but possibly we can give an equal-speed and an equal-time playback option.

I am also very interested in the idea as I would like to compare multiple files from trail running race to see speed difference in different segments.
