Sportstracker with N82

Written by Meraj Chhaya on May 5, 2008 – 9:55 am

This is rather strange. I’m having problems uploading my trackings to Google Maps and Nokia SportsTracker Online Beta. In Google Earth everything seems fine but it doesn’t show at an extended zoom out, so I rather use the previous two services to showcase my journey.

It’s definitely a good example of what the N82 can do and how you can share your adventures with your friends and everyone else. There is a great deal of support from Nokia, and recently a new widget for Facebook and Blogger has been released, but I use Wordpress so I can’t use it for the meanwhile.

I’m posting the HTML provided by Google Maps, and a screenshot from Nokia SportsTracker Online Beta.

Here’s the link to the SportsTracker map: link

Anyone care to explain this difference to me? The actual path was the highway from Johannesburg through Kruger National Park and finally ending in Limpopo Transfrontier Park. SportsTracker shows tons of paths while Google Maps shows only half of the way, maybe there’s a limit. When I export to Google Earth, everything is fine, although showing a screenshot wouldn’t be that helpful, so I leave you with the actual file:
