Unfortienately I will not be able to send the script in another week or so, I'm at sea and cannot access internet with the computer where I have the script and USB access is limited. Basically the script is a series of sed statements to clean up mistakes made by the program I used to download tracks from my Garmin GPS, the GPX file I got out was messy, contained tags that was clealy program internal (not GPX tags), time format was wrong, and it used comma (,) instead of point (.) to separate decimals. I added also a way to save the uncleaned GPX using tar and upload the cleaned to OSM. The uncleaned files was generally around 4MB, while the cleaned usually came out with 800kB. If more people are interested in it (and other similar scripts) than I will post them at my web page later. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] How to manage GPX files?
Before I learned about OSM, I had already purchased some commercial software called ExpertGPS (the Pro version so I could convert the traces to SHP). I could do the GPX-SHP conversion with free tools now that I've learned about it. What I still like about ExpertGPS is the ease of editing GPX tracks, and I also use it to download the waypoints directly from my eTrex Vista hcx. Easy to trim the traces, and more importantly, easy to simplify them down to few enough points that I often feel comfortable converting the traces directly into OSM ways (via JOSM) rather than tracing over them as GPS tracks. I'd recommend installing and learning to use JOSM if you're inclined to edit things.

Re: [OSM-talk] How to manage GPX files?
I wrote my own scripts based on bash, sed, tar and the java class GpxUpload. Basically I made it because there was something wrong with the output of my GPX tracks from the GPS (think regional settings was applied on the tags) so I had to clean the GPX files before they could be uploaded to OSM or loaded in JOSM. If you are running Linux or Mac, than bash scripting is really not a big deal. Since GPX is an XML standard file, than most command line text manipulation tools could be applied. If you run Windows you might want to install Cygwin in order to allow bash scripting, though I have no idea how much of the scripting that will work. If you run Mac than AppleScript can be an alternative, though I havn't even started to look at that since it also comes with bash. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
