GPS tracking

I recently discovered the joy of gps tracking.

I use the My Tracks app available on the Google Play market for Android. With this application I can log my journeys and create gpx files.

But what I really wanted to share is a great automation script for converting gpx files to images (png).

The script and some documentation can be downloaded here gpx2png. I use this script in my own little batch script that scans folders recursively with the purpose to automatically creating an image from every gpx file it encountered.
