Saving GPS Data
When you download GPS data from your device you can save it on your PC in three different formats:
.gpx, a standard format widely used for exchanging GPS data between applications. This is the
format used by the replay software GPS Action Replay. The .gpx format contains positions and
times.
.kml, this is the format used by Google Earth. The .kml format contains only a list of positions.
.vcc, this is Velocitek's proprietary format. It can only be viewed in a text editor such as
Notepad. The .vcc file format contains a list of times, positions, speeds, and headings. The
speeds and headings in a .vcc file were determined in real time directly from measurements of
the Doppler shift in the available GPS signals. These speeds and heading are significantly more
accurate than what can be obtained by through calculations based on the position and time data
present in other file formats.
.vcc is also the only format that contains the user information programmed on your device.
You can also open saved .vcc files in Control Center and save them as .gpx or .kml files. The reverse of
this transformation is not possible.
