I made a .crs and .gpx compacter tool (reduces size to less than 20%)

Hi all!

Thought I would let you know what I?ve been working on till dawn (and a little more) this night:

I created the "CourseCompacter" application to compact (compress) the size of Courses for my Edge 205.
However, I made it compatible with .crs & .tcx and .gpx files so that most GPS devices should benefit from this "track compacter".

I have done some tests, and they are pretty amazing.
The results vary depending on what kind of Course or GPX file you load.

El Cheapo GPS

We've had some talk about GPS lately, here's one for 180 bucks:

What is really rather good is that it has an electronic compass - a rare feature indeed. In case you don't know, without this a GPS can only tell which direction it's facing when moving.

What's the catch? Well, not specifically for riding or fitness so no NRM and no virtual partner and all that. The Edge is still the only one with these features from what I can tell.

Anyhow - I find this on the 'net:

GPS on Mobiles Becoming Common

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

We get GPS devices mentioned quiet a lot here so thought this worth a mention. There's just been some big mobile show in Barcelona where all the manufactures bring out their toys. GPS on a mobile looks like becoming the next big thing. Think how rare a camera or MP3 player was in a mobile three years back to see where this will go.

In particular the Nokia 6210 gizmo looks cool:

...It is the first GPS phone from Nokia that includes integrated compass for guiding users on foot.
