RideWithGPS to lat/long and timestamp

1. Open route in RWGPS web app, remember to get the Ride (ridden) not the Route (planned)
2. More > Export as file > GPX
3. If you have the Basic membership (USD 7.99/month, cancel when no longer requiring this feature as account and maps are retained) you can also export POIs you've added. For me it also seemed to export the whole route rather than just the segment to the nearest town
4. Open in Google Earth (macOS)
5. Places > Open the latest "GPS device" (at the bottom of the list)
6. Tracks item > Uncheck arrow icon
7. Points set > Leave as is
8. Preferences > Navigation > Check "Do not automatically til while zooming" > OK
9. Zoom to the location you think you want, following the arrows to understand which way you went
10. Click on a point to see the information about it
11. Times
12. The timestamp is the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ, where T is the time separator and Z means 'zero timezone', i.e. UTC+0
13. Add 12 hours to convert to NZ Time, or 13 hours to convert to NZ Daylight Savings time
14. OR, use the time scrubber in the top left hand corner of the map, with "Time zone on my computer"
15. Copy Longitude, Latitude, Time into blogging app, e.g. TrackMyTour
