I seem to have a problem with this mailing list. Only every second message arrives here. My own original mail and the one I'm replying to did not come over the list. Are there any known problems with it?

Yes, the probability to run across a GPS point decreases, but it's no reliable solution, and worse, the GPS track precision is also decreased. And often I make a small stop to take a photo, so at the very location where a photo is shot, there will still be more GPS points. Maybe photos should just be on a different layer so that I can hide the GPS points and only focus on my photos? And they need a little larger icons so that I can better find them and click on them. > The above reduction of GPS trackpoints also helps (a bit) with the > problem that GPS trackpoints are magnetic.

The track line would be enough. But I can only hide points for all layers, so I also lose the map, way and road points I'm supposed to work on... -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[email protected]> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de _______________________________________________ Merkaartor mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/merkaartor
