Hello, I am looking for a relatively cheap GPS, that can use GPX Routes/Tracks that are compatible with Footpath. Thanks! Source: 7 months ago

It won’t help you discover the most popular running spots in a city, but I use Footpath every day to plan my route. Source: about 1 year ago

I'm sure that happens, but I haven't done any work with gyro data myself. There's similar logic for mouse cursor movements, there are libraries out there that will generate a natural looking curve that moves the cursor from one position to another, with imperfections that emulate human hand movement. > Why do we even need an actual device? We can emulate if we even need to and set our headers to look like we're... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
