gpsbabel will convert waypoints to tracks with a command similar to gpsbabel -i gpx -f /tmp/bustia.gpx -x transform,trk=wpt -o gpx -F bustia-transform.gpx But this does not maintain the timestamp, and thus is rejected by the osm server. In addition to finding a technical solution, we need to ask ourselves "do waypoints, which are not tracks, belong in our collection of tracks? Is there risk of confusing other mappers if non-trackfile elements are in the gps track collection?" _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
