Mapping out our GPS track from above is one way of visualising the data that provides a new perception of what was created. However this is not always the most interesting way as there are many other ways of visualising data. For example a time based representation of information is interesting as it reflects occurences along a journey. My visualisation of the GPS data below therefore uses this time based element and represents the changes in vertical and horizontal coordinates along the journey:
This visualisation provides an abstract representation of the journey by looking at it in a different way. The image provides information on the amount of change between x and y coordinates through the journey as well as showing the various times at which data was taken by the device which is demonstrated by the coordinates placed on the image in relation to the timeline. This is quite a mathematical and graphical representation of the data, but is different to the standard way of outlining GPS tracking and provides further information that could not be discovered through a basic GPS trace image.
