5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GPS CYCLE TRACKS

I plan a cycle tour this summer around the city of Venice in Italy: Giro del Veneto. When preparing for the trip on racing bikes we got the GPS tracks. I use my android phone for maps and my friend use a Garmin Edge Touring.

After the US, European countries joined the open data movement. Let’s take an example. You are filling in your tax form, but you face a problem. There is a service: make a call to the taxation office. But how long would be the waiting time? The service of the taxation office publishes its data: topics of questions, waiting time etc. Analysis of these data could improve efficiency of this service, or diminish mistake in tax forms. Journalists could write a story about wait-times at this service.
