Sanoodi and EveryTrail
Sanoodi is a site for sharing GPS
tracks. It's a great idea, but it seems fairly buggy. It relies on
Google Maps for everything and therefore has all the limitations of
Google Maps (lot's of time spent watching the spinning beach ball). I
also just don't understand the need for the obligatory Flickr
integration. Why can't I turn this off? Why can't I make my tracks
private? It also seems to have some IE specific functionality.
Overall, it just doesn't feel finished.
EveryTrail is a more polished
version of Sanoodi. Tracks can be made private and I don't have to
look at other people's random Flickr photos.
Both sites lack the ability to simplify GPS tracks by limiting the
number of points. Adding this as part of the upload process would
significantly improve the perceived responsiveness of the sites as the
maps would render much faster. I was also not impressed with the
search functionality of either site.
Although, I might just be overly critical since I've thought about
making a site like this myself. :-) I think I'll stick to using GPSVisualizer.com for now.
