Good morning -
I uploaded a GPX file from strava with my run on it. I have a point feature for every second of the run. I'd like to symbolize the speed at which I was running but am drawing a blank on the google search. Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I'm not sure if your actual GPX file captured the speed. The GPX to Features tool doesn't translate speed as it's not a standard field from the GPX schema. There are ways to hack up the tool to pull more fields from a GPX (assuming that you have a speed field).
Alternatively, you can download a tool I wrote: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=46d7940511a74b9199cabceeede44aaa It derives speed based on a couple different ideas. (distance / time between points). The output would be a track (line)
It looks like the Classify Movement Events tool in ArcGIS Pro will do this: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/intelligence/classify-movement-events.htm
The tool is new in ArcGIS Pro 2.7 so won't be available in ArcMap, but if you have a current Desktop license, you should also have access to ArcGIS Pro. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/about-licensing.htm
Hope this helps!

Thanks. I downloaded the tool but am not sure how to add it to ArcMap (never done that before). How do I add a tool?
Extract the zip file to somewhere (C:\temp), then in your Catalog window, just navigate to that folder. Once there, expand it, you'll see the tool. Just run it the same as any other geoprocessing tool.
Awesome, thanks! I'ma give this a try.
