yes - change the makro where this value is calculated that the value should by round. |

I opened the macro CalculateTrack.
Is it here I'm going to change?
Function Distance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2, unit)
Dim theta, dist
theta = lon1 - lon2
dist = Sin(deg2rad(lat1)) * Sin(deg2rad(lat2)) + Cos(deg2rad(lat1)) * Cos(deg2rad(lat2)) * Cos(deg2rad(theta))
dist = acos(dist)
dist = rad2deg(dist)
Distance = dist * 60 * 1.1515
Select Case UCase(unit)
Case "K"
Distance = Distance * 1.609344
Case "N"
Distance = Distance * 0.8684
End Select
End Function
And one more question.
You must change your windows rights or change in excel script following line. How do you change the excel script?

Okay i create new version 09 (link is on bottom WinRar File)
new settings
Distance Cor -> 0 (Default) -> helps to close distance gaps if you use different round settings (see Round SecLen)
Height Cor -> 0 (Default) -> not active at the moment
Round SecLen -> 2 (Default) -> value for how many decimal you like for section length (creates small total distance diferences -> use Distance Cor to correct it)
imp
impish attached the following file:

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say it's easier to create GPS routes at https://www.bikero...aster.com/ then at google maps.
What's more, you can directly export to GPX and load it in the GPS kicker...
I created a tour of 5 stages in 1 hour this way...  |

Thanks a lot, Ruben! It's really fast to do stages with this tool. |

Bikeroutetoster seems to be a good site. Thx for the tip! I have done all the giro-stages with www.gpsies.com . Pretty handy site. I have also imported the gpx files in Sporttracks to exactly follow the riders during the stages of the giro  |

Which map site is the most "detailed". I'm making some routes in Norway, long away from everywhere, but no site has data for those areas.

As far as I know, they all use the information of Google. That means that they are all the same... So there just isn't information about Norway. |

Windows Vista? (if yes format your harddisk) 
The problem is that you have no admin rights to save a file direct in c:\ root directory.
Two ways to fix it.
1) open visual basic editor in excel search for the save path (C:\test.xml) and cahnage it to a path you like
2) Change the right settings to have access to c:\

Thanks for fast answer!
But I don't know how to do any of the solutions... Can you explain a bit more like I understand exactly what I have to do? |

Just to get back to stage making how do you guys make the editing after you have the .xml file?
I do it like this.
I usually directly import it in the rsm_profiler and edit there, as i directly see the changes in the profile:
- Start-Type
- Sprints
- Finish type
- Time checks
- Edit Profile (sometimes bad sections)
So i allready have a good base then i view it in the stage editor:
- add stuff
- edit terrain
- search for bad sections and edit it
Then i load the sta_stage with hannes converter and edit the stage-line i want to replace (most difficult part for newbees). Afterwads i modify the sta_race in case something has changed.
This all is a pretty fast process and easy if you are not a stage building pro. But you have to do most of the things i mentioned after you created the xml-file to get it function correct in game.

Hey Impish. I finally got the time (and motivation) to test this tool, and I am absolutely stunned. This is in top 5 of the best PCM utilities and tools ever. Amazing!
I've just got one question, maybe other stagemakers have an idea too. In the Tour of Denmark, stages always end with a criterium in a city. In bikely (similar to biketoaster), I just drawed the route to go at the same point to make it go around, but as I feared, this made the rendered stage look strange (The profile is just perfect though).
Have you got any idea on how to solve this? I guess I just can't copy the sections from the start of the criterium and paste them, as it would screw up the waypoints.
I guess I'm not the only one, who experienced this? |
