Is there a way find out the time of a partular location on a tracklog.

[Lary]

It's my understanding that a tracklog is both location and time. Is there a way to find out what time one passed a given tracklog location?

Hi, with a text editor you can see the geocoordinates and usually the timestamp from the downloaded GPX file.

Like:
<trkpt lon="6.777487" lat="51.408030"><ele>84</ele><time>2026-02-28T11:00:10+01:00</time></trkpt>

But it would be difficult to find the right location.

You can copy 51.408030, 6.777487 (from the above sample) into Google Maps, and it will show you the location of these coordinates.

Thanks I can see how that would work and would be more accurate than the method I tried. I converted the tracklog to a route. MRA then gives the times between waypoints like a normal route. However, I think these times could be what the program estimates from it's calculations. This would only be meaningful if there are plenty of waypoints that it can't calculate a different route. In my case it let be guess close enough to estimate what time I got there.

You could use RouteConverter for this (www.routeconverter.com). It is open-source and freeware. You can click on the route and see the time and coordinates.

I tried routeconvert. It gave lat and long but I didn't not see time.

Use an editor,open the gpx file and look if your coordinates have a timestamp.

There are two occurrences of 'tracks'.

• The first one is the one you create in MRA Routeplanner. Based on a route you created earlier, you can save the route as track with type .gpx 1.1 (track, POI). These tracks don't have time stamps.

• The second one is the track you recorded in MRA Navigation while you were driving e.g. a route. These tracks have timestamps and elevation.

Probably you have used the first one.
