Hi All, I have been updating the wiki pages about recording, converting and uploading GPS tracks. My aim is to have these 3 pages (record, convert, upload) acting as a nice guide.
== Progress so far == 1. I updated the "Upload" page [1] to bring it up to date with the fact that GPS data is just one part of the picture. The original page was from a time when aerial imagery and other data sources were not available. I also moved FAQ questions to this page. 2. I rewrote the "Making GPX Tracks" tool to include the fantastic online conversion tool at GPSVisualizer.com (no need to confuse people with GPSBabel software). A simple "how to" for conversion is now prominent at the top of the page. Technical details at the bottom. == Current project - Where I need your help == 3. I have started to update the page on recording GPS tracks [3]. This is where I need your help. There are some obvious questions that should be addressed on this page: * Can I use a iPhone / Android phone? What is the accuracy like? Which Apps are best? * Where should I record tacks? If the answer is anywhere, then where would you recommend I focus my attention (e.g. rural roads)? Is this the same globally? What should the page say in regard to these questions? All thoughts welcome. == Future == Really the page titles should be updated to "Recording GPS traces", "Converting GPS traces" and "Uploading GPS traces". How do I move the pages without messing up the language stuff? Is it possible to mass move all translations at the same time?
