[phpmygpx] A couple of questions/ideas

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/phpmygpx Archives ]


First, I am so happy to have found this project. I have been wanting to build something like this for a while, but never had the time. Now that i see this one, maybe I can throw in a hand to help improve. Now, down to business.

1. How hard would it be to deal with trackpoint extentions. Example being my Garming Edge 500 cycling computer records heart rate and cadence, and I would like to include that data in this tracking software.

<trkpt lat="27.0683909" lon="-82.4157069">
<ele>0.0000000</ele>
<time>2013-03-09T12:21:27Z</time>
<extensions>
<tp1:TrackPointExtension>
<tp1:hr>120</tp1:hr>
<tp1:cad>84</tp1:cad>
</tp1:TrackPointExtension>
</extensions>
</trkpt>

I am wondering if this can be done by simply adding a couple new fields to the gpx_import table? Thoughts?

2. I am attempting to add photos to a ride, however the camera is set not to record location (GPS coordinates). Will it break anything if I change the latitude and longitude fields in the pois table to allow nulls?

For future (hopefully) releases, would is be prudent to give users the option of using the exact location? If your camera records the GPS location, that would be idea, but some of us turn that feature off, and it would be nice to simply attach photos to an event.

I am getting a handle on the database structure, and will be opening the code shortly, but wanted to confer with others before making changes. Would it be easiest to post any code/DB changes here for other to evaluate? If I change things, and an upgrade comes out I wouldn't want to damage my data, nor stop myself from upgrading.

Thank you,

Craig
