I hope someone on here can help, I've searched high and low for an animated map that will synchronise to time stamps in a GPS file.
Basically from a train cab-ride video I have used RouteConverter to record points of interest against the elapsed time from the start of the video. This has given me a list of some 300 waypoints like so:
LAT LONG Time DESCRIPTION
53.7557820, -2.7075300, 00:00:28 Platform 3; Preston Station
53.7570980, -2.7077790, 00:00:53 Fishergate
53.7595130, -2.7097000, 00:01:14 Ring Way; PR1 8YN Preston; England; United Kingdom
53.7604390, -2.7112230, 00:01:26 Preston North Junction
53.7610960, -2.7121300, 00:01:31 Crossover to the right
53.7620230, -2.7132080, 00:01:38 Crossover from the right
53.7627810, -2.7139190, 00:01:42 Over-bridge Pedder Street; PR2 2QT Preston; England; United Kingdom
So at 28 seconds from the start I need to add a pointer at "Platform 3", then at 53 seconds move the pointer to "Fishergate", after 1 minute and 14 seconds move to "Ring Way" and so on.
I have tried Google Earth, but as far as I can see it will only animate the map at a constant speed and the program runs so slow the imagery can't keep up with the train!
Thanks in anticipation,
Roger B
