Hello, Don't worry, I'm not offended that easily :) The modules I'm talking about are the GeoTools module structure modules: gt-xml-gpx under modules/unsupported/xml-gpx, providing packages: org.geotools.gpx org.geotools.gpx.bean org.geotools.gpx.binding and gt-gpx under modules/unsupported/gpx

That is an approach we take often Peter; for example the gt-wps module is going to offer a "no abstraction" access to a web processing service. Then a high level gt-process module can offer the easier api for Java programmers. Landon is trying to do something slightly different (ie he has diffe

Hello, I think that you give a much greater importance to the low level access of the file, than you should. I'm not a GeoTools expert, but my understanding is that the point in the whole thing is to generalize the way the data could be accessed. This is why I didn't care about names of proper

You can find my experimental GPX code here: http://surveyos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/surveyos/java/gpx/src/ The code is documented or unit tested yet, and some of the methods are stubs. I'm fooling around with some techniques for accessing and managing GPX that are a little different from the o
