Nice ride. 1000k in a day in China is pretty nuts. Congrats
Re: A Thousand K in a day
Congratulations! Impressive ride, particularly down South :thumbsup:
I planned one but never did it. You inspired me to give it a try :riding:
And tell us how the "īron" feels like after such a ride :lol8:

When he got back home I was outside his garage preparing my TGR for the next day enduro ride.
And, of course, we went for that ride, looking for all the most messy trails in the surroundings.
He ain't got no iron ass. Just plain Stainless Steel one! :icon10::icon10:

In 2002, some smart people issued a GPS standard called GPX (GPS Exchange Format). Unfortunately, evil companies like Garmin, Google, TomTom, etc. decided it just wouldn't be fun having an open source universal standard, so they forced everyone into their own proprietary file formats. The good news is, almost every GPS device that can record tracks has the ability to output the results as a GPX file. I know little about Android and it's GPS abilities, but I would assume that it's able to output in GPX. I don't think KML will work, as the basic KML format only stores location and altitude, not speed. Anyhow... get on your moto and track your ride, save it as a GPX file, and then go to GPS Visualizer
Set the form and then upload your GPX data.

You will get a KML or KMZ file that you can open in Google Earth. Here you can see my dirt bike ride from Sunday. The color coding is automatically generated based on your top speed. This can go wonky on you if your GPS has a brain fart and you get some 200 km/h reading. If that happens, open the GPX file in a text editor and just remove that line.

Re: A Thousand K in a day
Thank you for the detail explation. That website is very useful (who deveope that must be really briliiant guy).
Too bad Google Earth only import KML format file, but My Tracks - develop by the same company - free GPS tracking software runs in Android phone capable exporting data in GPX. After recorded a track I can upload it to Google Maps, then shows up at "My Maps" which comes very handy examine the track.
I had limited budget and chose Android phone. It has lots of free apps those are very usable to me.
By the way, 1000km in a day, wow..

You can open a GPX file in Google Earth by going to File-->Open--> then select your GPX file on the hard drive.
Nothing wrong with Android, it's looks to be the future of smartphones and I'll probably end up with one soon.

Just high on motorcycles :17: :riding:
Any effort you make to ride a motorcycle and share the experience with others is hardly meaningless. We all have different ideas about riding, and each of us has our own little triumphs. Arriving home safely to cold beer is all that really matters.
Cheers!
