Sailing Route
From 2017-10-21 to 2017-11-23, I had the chance to cross the atlantic with my father and a friend on a sailboat. We were using adrena as navigation software. On top of all it's features, this program has the builtin functionality to log every minutes in a text file the following informations:
- Datetime
- Location (latitude and longitude)
- Speed (on ground)
- Cap (on ground)
- (true) Wind speed
- (true) Wind orientation
At the end of the trip, I retrieved this log file and back to my computer later, I filtered the time range into which we had sailed and reworked the data to make it digestible by the Google Maps API and create a rather accurate (~43k data points) route of our journey.
By clicking anywhere on this route, a tooltip will popup to display the logged information at that time, and the distance traveled so far from that point.
