What WILL you make with a GPS enabled or very detailed track editor?

Some local roads/routes will definitely be on my hitlist. I'm not expecting much in terms of background options apart from a few themes which is fine imo. As long as there is some reasonable detail in how it uses the GPS data then I think this feature it is going to provide a lot of interesting content for GT6 players. C'mon Kaz, you can do it!
 
I will travel to Japan and capture Mt. Haruna.

You've just made me think; Assuming we get a GPS feature, anyone in Paris fancy mapping the Rendezvous route? That would be very cool.

Don't know what I mean? You're going to love this: http://vimeo.com/m/34039780

Those kinds of routes would be incredibly boring without the proper scenery.

And traffic. Your probably right. It would be cool to run the same route just as a "I get that reference" sort of thing though.
 
I don't know. There are several long stretches, but the little corners would be quite interesting. Just shorten some of the long stretches a bit.... (shrug)
 
Very crudely knocked up, and probably a bit naff compared to some of the roads posted, but here's a little city track based on the Ring road and surrounding dual carriageways of my town centre.

Looks quite like Ascari a bit, doesn't it?
 
I feel that the ps3 may not be able to render GPS tracks properly, but I do feel that the ps4 could. It has much more ram and a better CPU/GPU. If it won't work with the ps3 then possibly with the PS4 it will.
I would like to be able to upload my bike path that I use in nyc
 
I would make a bunch of short ovals for the NASCAR guys. Hickory Motor Speedway is only about an hour drive for me so that would probably be my first short oval

Maybe the 1/16 of a mile track I race at could be good for Fiats... :lol: And, I doubt I could drive on the larger track next to where I race, which is Wall Stadium

PD will might come out with an app with the features to create GPS tracks
 
I'd make a track that runs through my town centre. Well, some of it. At just over 1.5 miles long and with a few elevation changes it would make a fun track I think. Especially as the last corner is almost a 180 degree hairpin. :D

Search your aps store for runners or cycling aps. I had one that was a spin off of a runners ap made for cycling, can't recall the name at the moment. It was from google aps and used google maps, tracked distance, speed:min/max/avg would graph altitude changes...all kinds of stuff.

Don't really know, I have never gone that fast on my bicycle :sly: I don't see why not though, can't see any reason to cut it off at 2 digits with the power of your typical phone processors these days. Maybe back in the 8-bit days, but that was long, long ago :)

Just remembered, it was called map my ride.

So, anyone think we'll actually get this feature in GT6?
