Displaying Neptune data alongside GPS data?

[Cajones]

Hey Klaus,

Can I use Paralog to display my Neptune data alongside GPS data?

Thanks,
Cajones

Cajones,

right now you have to decide for one or the other.

This feature is quite often asked for, though.

HTH,
Klaus

Thanks Klaus,

You've always been a great asset. I went a different route - I took the export from Paralog into Google Earth and the imported my gps file, also - this gave something we could use (this was for another one of those crazy TV show clips that they rarely use, anyhow).

You may see your product on Stunt Junkies!

I do not understand how that solved your problem!?! Paralog can only export jump logs aquired from a GPS to GE, Neptune data does not have the necessary coordinates. If you export a jump from Paralog to GE and load the original GPS data, both tracks *should* be identical, except for Paralog adding much more information.

I'd appreciate if you could mail me the clip if yo can get it as we don't get this show over here.

BTW, did you look at the improved export of the new version version yet? Color coding of the different track segments and data attached to every data point.

Color coding - that's craziness! I'll have to check it out.

We've done the Neptune data beside GPS data in past episodes, too. We've used the GPS data 2-dimensionally, fudging the altitude coordinate during climb - this makes the updates faster and smoother, and makes it easier to insert the Neptune data (significantly more granular and sexy) during the freefall. During the Speed Record (which only showed in Brazil, I believe), I tried to use the Jump Track export but it was all over the place. Even with a bit of smoothing/averaging, it still looked odd.

The last show I incorporated data from a G-force recorder. Pretty stuff to nerds like me but they use very little of it for broadcast. In the case of the last show, we used it to try to troubleshoot where a load/friction kicked in causing some serious issues with the stunt.

Edit to clarify: I imported the GPS data directly into GE and the Neptune data via Paralog.
