   LOL.  I was going to say you busted me.  I forgot to turn on the   
   tracker, so I had to go create a route after the fact.  Then I   
   downloaded it (as .gpx) and tried uploading it as an activity.  It   
   wouldn't go, for lack of timestamp data.  I found a program to add   
   timestamps; it needed a duration, so I estimated.   
      
   When you came back with the "good clip" comment, I figured I'd   
   underestimated the duration.  Then I looked at two more recent   
   hikes with actual tracking and found they were roughly 3.2 mph.   
   So 3.3 probably wasn't off by much.

   Interesting, thanks.  I'll take a look, but doubt I'll switch   
   since I'm pretty invested in RwGPS and do more cycling than   
   hiking.
