Building the Tour Tracker, part 3

So, a number of folks want to see the XML files that were used in the Tracker. Pending the source being posted, I wanted to provide a glimpse of the XML data I was consuming... Part 4 will get back to the real stuff, I promise.

tour.xml looked something like this....

<tour>
<name>Tour Of California</name>
<stages href="stages.xml">
<teams href="teams.xml">
<riders href="riders.xml">
</tour>

stages.xml looked something like this....

<stages>
<stage>
<name>Stage 1</name>
<number>1</number>
<description>Sausalito to Santa Rosa</description>
<date>02/19/2007 11:00:00 AM</date>
<course>
<route href="stage1.xml">
<length>97.2</length>
<sprints>
<sprint>
<name>Point Reyes Station</name>
<distance>27.9</distance>
</sprint>
</sprints>
<climbs>
<climb>
<name>Mount Tamalpais</name>
<distance>7.9</distance>
<category>4</category>
<elevation>1512</elevation>
</climb>
</climbs>
</course>
</stage>
</stages>

teams.xml something like this....

<teams>
<team>
<name>Discovery Channel</name>
<code>DSC</code>
<jerseyclass>JerseyColorsDisc</jerseyclass>
<markerclass>MarkerTeamDisc</markerclass>
</team>
</teams>

riders.xml like this....

<riders>
<rider team="TMO" name="ROGERS Michael">
<rider team="DSC" name="LEIPHEIMER Levi">
</riders>

and stage1.xml (the route description) is... obviously the coordinates section is the real meat of the route and i'm only showing 3 of thousands of coordinates...

<kml>
<document>
<folder>
<name>TOC - stage one</name>
<placemark>
<name>stage one route</name>
<linestring>
<tessellate>1</tessellate>
<coordinates>
-122.525029684569,37.8820621222632,11.222371084321395
-122.5251466016472,37.88202877312941,11.358573896309174
-122.5255467637875,37.88180258521668,11.975485783494067
</coordinates>
</linestring>
</placemark>
</folder>
</document>
</kml>

Later I'll include the XML that gets posted during the race. But this shows what we load at startup to display the race details to the user.
