Cycling with Garmin Edge 305

First attempt at overlaying speed/position etc from a Garmin Edge 305 GPS cycle computer onto video recorded using a dogcamsport pen camera attached to my cycle helmet....

is this video editing, or did you actually overlay the info to reflect on your glasses or something?

[VeryMadMart]

No its not a HUD.... you take the data from the garmin edge after a ride, run it through my application to generate a video file of the gauges... and then use a video editing package to overlay the gauges on the video from the contourhd...

If you had a Garmin 705 with a heart rate monitor... you could know exactly what your heart rate is at every point of your ride !... awesome s/w dude !... nice nice!

[VeryMadMart]

heart rate is on the right..... i have both the cadence and heart rate monitor with the 305.. the thing that i would really like is a 705 and ant+ power meter... if you look at my later vids. my current s/ware shows both cadence and heart rate..

[VeryMadMart]

To do thing you will need good programming skills.... I am planning to develop a version of the code for mac (just got a new macbook pro), probably using the quicktime api to generate the video file.. Either coded in C/C++, but also considering Java as it'll be a bit more portable...

[VeryMadMart]

I wrote a small C application using microsoft's video for windows API... The program is a bit messy, but okay for a prototype... Its relatively easy to do if your into programming...

Thats a nice data. Pitty it doesn't work for water athletes

[nikmiknikmik]

Not bad idea at all!! :)

wow 50 km/h I'd have to wear a helmet if I biked around that fast

@slvadi Oh, and you need to create glasses with a reealtim HUD display. :)

[slvadi]

@VeryMadMart Hi,

that's a very nice app!  Do you plan to include export of uncompressed images instead of an encoded movie? You could then convert those images into any video format without problems.

[triskelnorth]

Dude.. very good job, i really like how it looks and all the info you get on screen, come on, teach us how yo we can do something like this.... it looks really pro!

[outithewoods]

very nice, love the display.

@magnatom There is talk of ANT devices for "iphones" and Im sure android phones (via bluetooth repeaters hopefully) that means they will work with HR/CAD/etc units.

As for doing this, above... it won't be any different than the 305 output... just use a GPX file (I guess though this is using TCX for HR/CAD but you wouldn't have that on a basic 'droid setup).

[charlesdyfis]

Heh. I've written something similar (using Genshi+SVG rendering, thus getting antialiasing and alpha channel support for free and breaking out development of the visual templates from the parsing and calculation work), but this is dramatically more sophisticated than the display templates I'm presently using. If my output starts to look a bit more like yours, I hope you'll take the imitation as flattery. :)
