New plugin "GPX Viewer": Displays GPS tracks on map

Post by Arvid » Sun Nov 01, 2020 11:32 am

Hi,

I'm happy to introduce to you my latest FlatPress plugin: GPX Viewer!

It makes use of Jürgen Berkemeier's free JavaScript library GPX Viewer to display uploaded GPS-recorded tracks and routes (GPX format) on a OpenStreetMap map with a corresponding height profile.
It adds a BBCode tag “gpx” to include your uploaded GPX file into your blog entry or static page. It's really just as simple as that:

Code: Select all

[gpx="attachs/file.gpx"]
See the plugin in action on my personal bike touring blog: https://fahrrad.arvidzimmermann.de/2020 ... -mrkische/

Download and documentation on the wiki

Please let me know if you encounter any bugs or glitches.

All the best,
Arvid

Brilliant job! This is great to have :D

Ive uploaded a test tracklog and the track seems to be offset. Having tried this on a couple of route planning sites, they seem to be correct. Is this ia bug in the underlying library?

cheers

Ah, good idea! Yes, that works fine. Does that mean its likely a problem with the plugin?

Hi,

thanks for reporting. The FlatPress template around may set a margin to images which causes the offset.
Please add the follwoing to your fp-plugins/gpx/res/gpxplugin.css:

Code: Select all

div.leaflet-pane img {
	/* image margins given by the FP template have to be reset in order to avoid track offset */
	margin: 0px !important;
}
This should remove the offset, does it?

I will add this to the plugin package.

All the best,
Arvid

Is there a way to change the default basemap?

In fact, there is.
The map DIV has the CSS class "gpxview:PATH_TO_GPX_FILE". Just append the type of map with a ":" to this.

For example, change line 50 of gpxplugin.class.php from
$mapDiv = '<div id="' . $divId . '" class="gpxmap gpxview:' . $filePathRel . '"><noscript><p>' . $noJsError . '</p></noscript></div>';
to
$mapDiv = '<div id="' . $divId . '" class="gpxmap gpxview:' . $filePathRel . ':OPENTOPO"><noscript><p>' . $noJsError . '</p></noscript></div>';

to set the default map to OpenTopo.

For the different map names, see the GPX Viewer documentation (English translation by Google).

All the best,
Arvid
