Magnalox is a web-based application that brings a GPS track to life. Simply download and save your track from a GPS and upload it to Magnalox (“magnificent GPS logs and interactive reports”) The application will transform your track into an animated map that reproduces your journey. Elevation data is displayed as an accompanying graph, and the “killer feature” is the option to add notes and pictures from the journey into the finished log. This is a fantastic way to record field trips. I have produced a short magnalog of my local block with photographs. You can also view the magnalog on Google Earth or on a Google Map.

I’ve edited my magnalog. It now includes text descriptions as well as photographs. If you have already seen it once you need to refresh your browser to see the updated version. That’s taken me an hour to work out! I notice that the text descriptions aren’t visible in Google Maps.
