This is my first real attempt at spatial data - pretty cool!
Map
Dual-axis graph

Process:
- Read data in as xml
- Create points
- Generate map
- Clean-up timestamps
- Sort data by time (I think it already was sorted, but my graph was showing odd drop-outs, so just in case....)
- Create start centroid on same line as destination centroid
- Calculate time elapsed in hours
- Calculate distance between points (in miles)
- Calculate speed
- Create chart

This was fun! I thought it would be pretty simple but I ended up learning a lot.

I summarized elevation and speed by the minute, which made the graph look less wonky!
