to track speed, distance and so on

Now the problem is

eks.(GPS)
Distance 17,820 (17 km 820 m)
Time 01:29:05 (1 hower 29 min and 5 second)
Result= 00:04:49 min/km

eks.(Excel)

Excel looks right. 1:29:05 is 89.08333 minutes. Divide that by 17.82 and
you get 4.999065 minutes/km

=A1*24*60
(Excel times are in multiples of a day, so *24*60 converts to hours then
minutes)
