Maps Support

Added support for all the Google Maps modes, and MS Live Maps modes, Geoportail, and OpenLayers. Basically this adds "Terrain" and "Hybrid" modes to those already available. I've also added new "Street" and "Satellite" modes. These mostly duplicate the existing functionality, but, as far as I can tell, dont cause Google to block your IP address, because I'm using the GMaps API.

I've also included some oddities - ever wonder where you would have been if you'd been running on the moon? :-)

New Route Control

I've added a new Route Control, which supports Google Earth, and Virtual Earth as well as all the other map types.

Its available as an activity detail page (bottom left pane on the "Daily Activity" view, on the drop down), or as a full screen view (Select view | AR - Routes, or Edit Activity | Send To Routes)

3D Workout Simulation

In the "AR Routes" view (see above), select "AR - Earth", then use the buttons in the bottom right to start/stop, speedup/slowdown and zoom in/out. Use the GE Navigation control to set the orientation of the view relative to the "pacman"

Join Activities

Select the workouts you want to join, then use "AR - Join Activities" to join them. Note that the end time of the last workout must be within about 18 hours of the start time of the first (this is due to an ST limitation)

Routes Features

I've found the "Routes" view to be hard to use. What I really want to use it for is to store "typical" runs on each of my courses, and then use those to add gps tracks to my old (pre-gps-owning-days) workouts.

I know there are various ways to do this

copy a workout, then change the date on the copy
export a workout, and import with a new date

but then the old workout ends up with exactly the same time/splits etc as the one that I copied. But I already have exact times, and splits for my old workouts, so I wanted something a bit better.

When this plugin applies a route to a workout, it scales the times for the entire distance, and computes distances for the splits. A planned improvement is to store "common" split locations along with the route, and let it tie split times in the workout to split locations in the route. Another planned improvement is to average a number of workouts when creating a route.

Usage

Create Routes From Activities

Unfortunately, the ST API doesn't allow a plugin to create new routes, so this just updates existing routes.

Before you start, you need to create some empty routes in the Routes view. A route is considered empty if it has no gps route associated with it, and its name is blank, or "New route". A route will also be updated if its name matches the workout name. Because of this dependence on names, "Create Routes From Activities" wont create a route from an activity with a blank name.

Select the workouts you want to create routes for, then select "Create Routes From Activities" from the "Edit" menu. A form will show you, and allow you to change, which routes will be updated from which activities.

Apply Routes...

Select the workouts you want to update, then choose "Apply Routes...". Text boxes at the top of the dialog show how many activities are selected, and the min, max and average distance of the selected workouts. This can be used as a sanity check before you apply a 2 mile route to a 50 mile workout.

By default, activities which already have gps tracks wont be updated. Deselect "Ignore activities with GPS data" to override that.

Update History...

Set the Names,Locations and or Categories of all selected activities
Change a Name or Location across all activities and routes
Add or remove equipment items to multiple activities at once
