I try always run with my GPS. I have an old Garmin eTrex Venture and I was really been envious of the newer GPS units on the market. On Sunday I found www.motionbased.com. This is a really handy website for anyone who wants to see the information in their GPS! What’s really cool is that it supports a large number of the older GPS units produced by Garmin. It’s not just limited to the units marketed for fitness.

They have a little tray app that is used to download the track data from your receiver and upload it to their website. Once there, they plot it on Google Maps and let you analyze the data in almost any way you want. Want to see the elevation profile of your run? Want to see the distribution of speeds on your run? It’s all there!
