GPSed became popular, our statistics can prove that!

First of all I want to represent new small feature on a start page - common statistic of GPSed.com service, such a total number of tracks, attached photos, etc.

As of today, our tracks cover 128 countries, this is more then a half of the world! The largest number of tracks we’ve got from United States (6638), Russia (2289), Germany (2231), Ukraine (1513), United Kingdom (1403), Italy (1092) and Canada (1064).

There are also countries with only one track represented on GPSed: Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Armenia, Cambodia, Laos, Malta, Ethiopia, Benin, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Andorra, Botswana, Tanzania, Mozambique and Uzbekistan. I think tracks from such countries can be very interesting. By the way, to find all tracks from exact country you can sign in, open Search tab on /home page, expand “Advanced Search” panel and choose any country from dropdown list.

Do you know that there are 183 tracks at GPSed.com under the title “to work”?

The average speed of people movement to work is 15.6 kilometers per hour and the average distance to the work place is 18.5 kilometers!

Here we’ll give you some recommendations on how to make your own track and to enjoy it on Internet by yourself and with friends.

To make a track you need GPS unit or mobile phone with GPSed application installed and a digital photo camera. In a case you use photo camera separately from mobile please note that the data and time should be the same on both devices to avoid future mistakes. Choose the nice area and start making tracks and taking photos during your trip.

After that upload your track and photos on your computer. Sign in to GPSed.com. In the upper right corner of your screen press the link “Upload tracks” and find your recent track on your computer (GPX, KML or PLT formats). When the process is finish your track will appear on Google Maps. You can assign your tracks to Communities, read this post for more information!
