7 700 000 000 * .5 * 3 = 11 550 000 000 months lost

11 550 000 000 / 12 = 962 500 000 years lost

962 500 000 / 71 = 13 556 338 people lives lost

As of today, the WHO estimates 1.69 million people died of COVID-19.

Ah, how awesome. Looking forward to see these land in Switzerland. Would love to try one out. (Uncertain about the exterior design, but it certainly has the potential to turn into a classic #LibertyElectriCityMobility

I remember Hans Rosling from some of his famous TED talks (like https://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen, https://www.ted.com/speakers/hans_rosling) but wasn’t aware of the book until a couple of weeks ago – and to be honest, I only now made the connection between Dollar Street (https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix, https://www.ted.com/talks/anna_rosling_ronnlund_see_how_the_rest_of_the_world_lives_organized_by_income) and Gapminder (silly me, in hindsight it’s too obvious).

The findings shared have been transformational for my worldview, and how I navigate the world today. If you need to kill some time, I recommend to at least watch the TED talks – after which the book is a bit of a repeat and you could skip to Chapter 11 right away.

That one contains 468 usable startLongitude/startLatitude elements, which fits nicely into kml as Placemark and renders well on https://www.google.com/mymaps.

The resulting map:

Which also works well zooming in:

Again, drop me a note if you feel I could help you with any of this.

Today I had some fun exporting all my recorded Garmin tracks and plotting them as a heatmap on Google Maps.

After having wanted to create a map like this for ages, I finally found some time to hack together the toolchain needed. If you want to do the same, the easiest way I’ve found was:

#1 Ask Garmin for an export of all your data: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/account/datamanagement/

#2 Use the fabulous https://github.com/polyvertex/fitdecode to extract the lat/longs of your tracks.

#3 Use the Google Maps heatmap API to plot the data: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/visualization

Alternatively, drop me a line, and I’d be happy to help

You might wonder how to plot all your tracks on a map – which is what I initially started with. However, with 346 recorded activities, using kml to plot them (through various platforms) I found it difficult to navigate the result. – If you’d like to get your fit files converted to kml to play around with them, also drop me a note, I have a converter for that too.
