Acknowledgements

Calculation of distance and bearing is based on the Movable Type Scripts developed by Chris Veness (www.moveable-type.co.uk).
The draggable and resizable windows were developed by Mike Hall (www.brainjar.com).

Calculation of stretch related values

Data like speed, bearing and ascent rate are calculated by GPX Mapper as average values for the stretch between two successive points. For convenience these values are linked to the first of the two points, although they actually reflect the values for the entire stretch between the two points.
