Map Data

The data is available here allows you to create your own spatial visualisations of the Bio Mapping data collected by hundreds of participants.

The data is classified via location not individual users simply to make it easier to use and understand. Within each location file, each individual tracks is still viewable and usable on its own.

I have provided the data in two different file formats, KMZ and GPX, the first is easy to use with Google Earth while the second is fully open and usable in a wide range of geo software. For GPX files I recommend starting with GPS Visualizer.

I have inserted my GSR arousal measurements as the standard <ele> elevation tag. The numbers for the <ele> tag range from 0 - 255 with 255 as highest arousal. Find some more info on the GPX exchange format here.
