Start-time, pace, etc. But I was hoping to make it usefull for other purposes, too. One could have more than just one track in a section. E.g. one for the warm-up, one for the competition. Actually, I'd like to click somewhere and see the track in an extra frame. In Emacs and in my Browser. That's why I was thinking about links. As I look into `C-h f org-add-link-type' I guess links are indeed the way to go. BTW: I like OSM better, because it includes cycling paths and stuff like that as well as more detail in general (phone boths, stores etc.). For runners, google maps are useless. Sebastian
