Route Tracker
A Flask web application for visualizing GPX files, providing a simple interface to display GPS data and plot paths in 3D. It's designed as an easy-to-use tool for accessing GPX data and generating visual insights into the paths.
Responsibilities
- Designed and implemented a Flask-based web application for tracking and visualizing GPX route data.
- Integrated an interactive map view for displaying run paths and individual data points.
- Enabled file upload, parsing, and storage of GPX data, with file handling for customized filenames.
- Developed features for selecting, loading, and deleting run data from an interactive list.
- Added dynamic 3D plotting for run elevation data with interactive rotation using Plotly.
Skills Developed
- Proficiency in handling and parsing GPX files to extract geographical and speed data.
- Advanced JavaScript for interactive UI elements and AJAX requests to handle dynamic data.
- Created informative and visually appealing bar plots and heatmaps.
- Experience with designing and implementing RESTful routes in Flask.
- Improved ability to develop full-stack applications combining HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python.
- Enhanced troubleshooting and debugging skills for client-server interactions and frontend errors.
Technologies
- Frontend: JavaScript (AJAX, jQuery), HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, Plotly.js for data visualization.
- Backend:Python with Flask for web routing and backend logic.
- Mapping:Leaflet.js for dynamic, interactive map rendering.
- Data Handling:GPX file parsing, file I/O handling, and data processing in Python.
- API Integration:Integrated RESTful routes in Flask for data retrieval and manipulation.
