Thoughts and analysis of hiking related issues (Training, nutrition, caloric expenditure, GPS, etc.). Calculate Personalized Calories Burned. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Many GPS devices come with their own mapping / editing software that may or may not be sufficient for your own analysis. Personally, I use Matlab for much of my processing b/c I have a lot of control, but you'll also have to do a bit of programming. The easiest way is to download the free GPX Editor.

Optimal Hiking Grade - A 50 Hike GPS Analysis. Do you care about optimal hiking grade? Maybe not, but its interesting for us to think about. Intuitively, some may think that steeper trails should get you up higher more quickly because less energy is being put into the horizontal miles that a less steep trail would need.
