Hi Jan There are two ways to go. IF you want to continue using GPX files then; The best way is to open your gpx in QGIS, then right click on the layer chose save as, and chose esri shape file. This is editable in QGIS. Once you have finished editing the shape file, you can save it then save as gpx again. Gets rid of the whole gps babel step.
Otherwise, igis on iphone imports and exports esri shape files I believe, which would make everything seamless for qgis and remove the need to use gpx. You might also want to try galilleo on iphone, but I haven't personally used it.

I figured out that I cannot edit my GPX waypoint files in Q-GIS (which I did in X-Map) and so have shifted them to csv format w/ GPS Babel. No problem, except that I need to frequently update and synchronize with waypoints on my iPhone. When I open the attribute file for the csv point layer, the edit function is grayed out. How to make the layer / source file editable within Q-GIS? A related question - I am using Gaia GPS on the iPhone (w/ a Garmin bluetooth GLO receiver). Is there a better iPhone app out there that might communicate directly w/ Q-GIS and bypass the need to manually update the csv layer? Thanks!
