Mobile GPS Tracking Service

April 24th, 2008 by Valery

Yesterday we’ve made an update of GPSed.com web site to introduce new functionality and some minor UI changes and improvements.

Probably the most interesting new feature is the availability of the list of “Nearest Tracks“. This list shows you up to 5 tracks nearest to the current one. You can find such list on the “track-details” page of any track right under a list of Photos and Waypoints, for example this one: 100km 2008 by Vizael.

Among other changes we’ve added a small icon with the photo camera to list of “Opened Tracks”. This icon will appear near every track which has no photos attached. Clicking on this icon will let you attach your photos to this track from Flickr and Picasa.

We’ve added an ability to detach all attached photos from your tracks. Some of our users requested this functionality and now it’s available. You can detach photos one-by-one also. In order to do this you must click small icon like this Detach, which is located near every attached photo.

By the way, we’ve renamed the starting page from “Map” to “Home”. So, don’t be confused :)

And finally, a feature that I personally like more than any other of the new features in this update, is an updated list of “Other Public Tracks“. Now this list shows you only the tracks from distinct countries. In other words, you will not be able to see two or more tracks from one country in this list.

We hope you will enjoy the improvements we’ve made! Please share your ideas with us by posting a comment or writing to

Dear Snaky,

Thank you for your suggestion. We appreciate any comments and ideas regarding the improvements of GPSed.com service.

I think your suggestion is great, and we will add it to our plans.

There is some discomfort in viewing photos on track.
If I have several photos with equal gps coordinates, I see only one marker on map for all photos, and I can see only one photo.
(I understand I can see all photos in attached photos list.)

Dear Snaky,
We understand problem you have described. Do you have any solution to suggest?

I really like the idea of nearby tracks. However, what would be really helpful is if you could filter out your own nearby tracks to find other users in the area. The nearby tracks shows only five entries; since I have uploaded more than 5 tracks, i only get my own tracks as being nearest.

Dear jjp29, thank you for your suggestion.
We will add this feature to our TODO lists.
