Plotting GPS routes

I wanted to try something different in Tableau - its ability to plot geographical routes.

So I've loaded up some routes from a bike GPS, using R to manipulate multiple files and add speed calculations - though I'm sure the haversine formula could also easily have been implemented in tableau to get the distances. 

It took me a while to realise the return journey from home is longer by several minutes. Check out the speed and you can guess where the incline is with me, or against.
