OpenStreetMap

So i like geography so for art class I learned the GPS sensor.

when i went on a road trip for spring break during spring break, I left my gps on and stored the values into sqlite database from the phone.

I then created a dataset of latitude, longitude, and time into 540,127 rows that I wish to use to create a visualization.

Today I worked on this project and borrowed a fast computer at the school, converted the rows from terminal sqlite query to (.txt and .html) form.

I am learning to program with Android for the course and so I found myself at the Google for fusion tables. About one hour ago I was able to figure out how to embed 100,000 (is limit on free acount?) onto the Google Map interface.

However, I want to do more and I hope Someone can offer me some advise or ideas.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story,

You can easily load GPS tracks in QGIS as vector layer. Then you are not bound to some proprietary technology like Google Maps.

The usual ‘universal’ file for GPS tracks/waypoints is the .gpx format … that can be imported by most programs.
