As noted earlier, now that GPSLog Labs has been migrated to the new server and updated to newer library versions, there has finally been some time to add new features:

• Sharing Routes between multiple places.

  See the next post on Merging Routes for details.

• View best efforts in crossfilter.

  Tag crossfilters have got a bit more powerful and can now include best effort times.

  For example, to answer questions such as "what's the fastest I've run 1km when doing long runs?", select the distance from the Best Efforts Splits filter:

  

  This will add Split Duration and Split Average Speed/Pace graphs to the dashboard and table:

  
  

  You can filter using the charts to select just "long" runs and "fast" best efforts:

  

• Suggested edits.

  This one is a little experimental and I'll be refining it I'm sure. The idea is that GPSLog Labs will remember the edits you make to your uploaded activity (fixing unmatched places, assigning routes and tags) and speed up the editing process the next time by providing suggestions where it can.

  When GPSLog Labs can provide a suggested edit, a button will be displayed next to the activity:

  

  Selecting an option from the suggested edits will apply updates to the tags, route and start/stop places as necessary.

  

• Activity feed projections iCal feed.

  The Activity Feed on the home page displays dates you're projected to hit various milestones (distances, counts and goals) but it's pretty easy to overlook something interesting that's coming up.

  Now there's an iCal feed url you can add into your calendar to see these projections on your phone or somewhere else convenient so you can get a little kick of motivation when you're about to pass the milestone.

  

Some recent updates to GPSLog Labs:

• The full-screen mode for maps is now controlled by a button in the top right corner of the map, rather than a link below the map. There's a smaller version for small maps, and the same button will close the full-screen view.

  

• The "Activity feed" now has some "action" buttons on your recent and upcoming significant achievements.

  Completed goals have a "Rollover" button to copy the goal and adjust the dates to the next time period.

  

  Fastest times have a "Share" button to allow you to quickly post them to Facebook or another social network.

  

  The feed now also includes predictions of when you'll reach certain activity counts (e.g. your 100th run).

• The tag and goal distance vs time graphs now have cross-hairs to let you easily read off the distance/time of the point under the mouse.

  

• The new layout style is continuing to spread through the site, now it includes the Uploaded Log Files and Your Shared Content pages.

This is a quick summary of the recent updates to GPSLog Labs:

• The new "Activity feed" has had some extra elements added to help you be aware of recent and upcoming significant achievements:

  • Best Efforts — This will show your fastest times at benchmark distances (e.g. 10km)

    

  • Goals — Progress towards a goal will be indicated as you pass 50% and 100% of your target distance, and also as you get half way through the goal period and when you complete the goal.

    

  • Activity counts — e.g. the 10th or 100th log for a given tag, route or distance.

    

• New layout for log file editing page:

  

  Hopefully this is a more logical layout that includes a few more details and removes a few things that no longer made sense. Some of the popups on this page have some small improvements too.

• There's now a Russian translation of the help pages. Many thanks to Michael.

• Added "Place Count" and "Tag Count" as options for displaying calendar summary tables.

  
• Added nautical miles as an option for the distance/speed format settings.
• Added a csv download for data from the session detail tables (e.g. from the Sessions tab on the Place or Tag detail pages.)
• Fixed a bug with Facebook sharing.

Here are some "new" features in GPSLog Labs that I hadn't had a chance to post about yet:

• The Tag Activity Feed is a list of completed and projected distance milestones for each tag, such as completing 1000 km (or miles):

  

  The projections are computed with a Monte Carlo simulation based on your logged activity. The graph shows your cumulative distance and the range of likely outcomes, with the projected date taken at the median.

  A selection of these milestones may be displayed on the home page below the activity table to let you know of targets you have recently completed or will hit soon.

• The log detail page now shows the longest best effort at the top of the page:

  

  This lets you see at a glance how well the activity compares to others with the same tag and on the same route, and you can click through to view the other distances on the Comparisons tab.

• The Virtual Race allows you to see the result of a hypothetical race between all your efforts for a particular set of tags.

  

  You can find the Virtual Race tab on the tag detail page, and there you can select a distance and a target time or speed and the relative positions of each effort as the benchmark effort crosses the "finish line" will be shown.

• The activity table details section has a cleaner layout:

  

• Activity notes popups have been expanded to show more details, and you can now have more than one open at a time:

  

• The Log File detail page has a new Itinerary tab, and the Itinerary tabs throughout the site have a nicer, cleaner layout:

  

• Also, I've fixed some problems that occurred when uploading zip files with non-English file names.
