Race Analyzer GPS map flipped

Post by toga94m »

One more buglet from this weekend's testing - looks like the north/south axis of the GPS dataview in Race Analyzer 1.1.15 is inverted.

The datalog's GPS entries are right - I extracted them from the logfile, sent them thru gpsvisualizer.com and got this nifty map, which represents Saturday's test-and-tune course. A correct coordinate pair from mid-course is 42.634686 -73.776878 (New York).

But Race Analyzer's GPS view flips the course outline top-to-bottom. If I use Excel to make both columns negative, I get a gpsvisualizer map that matches the Race Analyzer view, but now I'm autocrossing on the west coast of Chile. Looks like a simple sign change somewhere in the import code would fix it, but then it might not work in the southern hemisphere.

Noted. thanks for the report.

This will be corrected in the new replacement to Race Analyzer combined with the V2 firmware upgrade. Watch for it!
