Hey guys/gals,

I got back from COTA and decided to throw together a quick program that might be simple and easy to glean some info on. I created a small app (it's very raw, just to see if the use is helpful) and wanted to get your opinion. Basically you just select the export file from whatever data logger you're using and it generates a kind of interactive map. This example just shows throttle position with brake force.

If you think something simple like this that generates an automatic view like this is useful, let me know, and I might develop it further with a gui for others to use it.

Here is the image of what it kind of creates. The video below shows the interactivity component. Note, its very raw and just a concept at the moment.

Didn't look at the video but I think it's great!

This visualization is the next step to allow users to assimilate the most important information in the quickest, easiest and most "sticky" way.

Great work, looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks guys, was able to port it over to create a kmz file because google earth has a better dynamic interface. That might be the best future solution. Take about 10 seconds to convert the data input into a kmz that displays this.. The second one is just kinda for fun.

i would use it

That is cool. I'm familiar with those tracks and was able to interpret them instantly. Hella useful.

Currently yes/no, however it wouldn't take any time at all to implement. It's literally just calling the same function again and exporting.

However using the KMZ output to google earth, the google earth app can handle the lap comparisons as is. So, it depends on how, I want to handle the files. I just need to handle the colors to make it less confusing. Meaning I would probably limit it to a 2 lap comparison, because I feel the amount of data would then cross over to the confusing for most people and the whole aim of this was simple useful visualization.

The following can already be done, just need to change colors..







What's really nice is that i can just open the kmz file on my iphone and view it on there...

Like, I said it's all raw so it's not perfect. I haven't worked on it much at all. But I'm open to constructive feedback on things that would add value.

I think it looks great!

I'm with everyone else. That looks really helpful and I'd definitely use it.

There are many great ways to visualize what you're doing where. Pretty cool stuff, gtreddy!

Looks super useful! Keep it coming!
