I prepared map of the 2004 Tour of Hope DC Fund-raising Ride using data from my Garmin Forerunner 201, a handle-bar-mounted Global Positioning System device that captures a variety of cycling or running statistics.

The route changes color according to the elevation recorded on my Garmin Forerunner. This is one of the options that GPS Visualizer allows you to control.

Further information on how to do this yourself is in an article called Toolkit for Turning Garmin Forerunner 201 Data into Overlay Maps, published on Operation Gadget back in August.

Participants in the Tour of Hope DC Fund-raising Ride are welcome to use this map on their websites, provided that the image used includes the caption "www.operationgadget.com" as shown. If you choose to use the map, please download it and put it directly on your website, rather than pointing to it on our server. [ Small VersionLarge Version ]
