Script for creating timelapse videos with overlaid metrics from Garmin .FIT files.

Draws graphs of Garmin data (speed, HR, cadence, elevation) along with a Google map of position (updated every 10th of a mile). Google Maps has some very aggressive rate limits, which means this script has to sleep a lot and frequently fail. Fortunately, files are staged, and it can pick up where it left off.

Relies on the EXIF data from the timelapse files to match the track up with the images.

Outputs a whole bunch of files to the staging directory (specified by --stagingdir), which you can then stitch together into a video with mencoder:

mencoder "mf://merged-*.JPG" -mf fps=12 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:vbitrate=7000
