Programs found in this area, are all having executable assemblies strong-signed, which means secure.

You may check all “.exe” files, “properties”, under the “version” tab, for “company”, and “assembly version” fields.

 

Therefore, this program, is capable to:

Read the track data file, and then reduce the track points set size, into a smaller set (number of track points), producing a new output file.

Principle of operation:

This 'reduction' processing, is intelligent enough, so that the produced new track, is as much as possible accurate (high resolution).  A mathematical 'filter' is utilized, in order to accomplish this selective elimination, of selected original track points.  The principle is to remove track points, where the track is closer to a straight line, and retain track points in track segments with curves and inflection points.

Selective reduction parameters:

There two parameters offered to the user, influencing the magnitude of 'reduction' effected on the input track data.

(a) Reduction Factor: This is a number ranging from 1 to 100%.  You may think of it as a 'pedal' to push, effecting even more 'reduction'.  Note, that the effected reduction is not linear.  So, 50% does not reduce the track points to half of what we get by using 25%.  It is rather behaving logarithmically.

(b) Maximum number of points:  This is simple and straight, as a user request.  Consider you have a track data file with 2,500 points.  Here, you may ask for a new track data file, reduced to 500 points; complying with the commonly found capacity of most outdoor GPS devices.  The output file produced will have 'no more' track points.

GPS Trackz

This program is designed to deal with GPS-Track data sequences.

The user need to attend is the following:

The track points collected by a GPS device, next to a long distance trip, are much more than the maximum limit of track points that the same GPS may read and store in its memory.
