Funny enough it’s the cheapest Garmin eTrex I could find used from Craigslist. The “magic” comes from using a program called LoadMyTracks that takes all the information out of the GPS and put it on to a text file. I then take that text file, upload it to this blog and use the WordPress XML Maps plug-in to do all the cool graphs.
Of course this method will only work if you have a WordPress site. I’m sure there are other ways to graph the data that LoadMyTracks gets out of the GPS, I just haven’t looked into it. If you want to add maps to some other system Calmoto is using I’m more than willing to help out in any way I can.
Cesar, that is cool, what kind of GPS do you use to get this data?

Again, thanks for setting up that awesome ride!
