Logging suggestions

Hello there,
Firstly thanks for this very good software for caching.
I have one suggestion, could GeoNIche log also current speed or maybe also alt?, it will be very helpfull, and it makes the software more better.It is very stable application if I compare it to the others, I'm a great fan.

(Sorry for my pure english)

Logging

Thank you for the compliments.

If you record a route and share it in GPX format, the resulting file contains time stamps and altitudes as well as latitude/longitude information. It would be possible to determine the average speed for each point on the recorded route by computing the distance between the points and dividing it by the time it took to travel that distance.

There are many programs for viewing GPX files (for example GPS Visualizer) but I haven't seen one that can specifically compute the speeds for each segment using this technique. Maybe another user knows of a program that does this.

I could add code to GeoNiche that computes the speeds using this technique and includes that information when a GPX file is created. I will add this to my TO DO list.
