Stephen and Steve are right. Some GPS units allow detailed routes to be entered (either manually or from a data file), rather than just an endpoint to use as a goal. Such a route will often follow a torturous path which includes out-of-the-way nodes and ways, and not be the path any GPS routing algorithm would choose. >>From there it just needs to be converted into something else, if GPX > is ok, you could just take the nodes and use that to make a track I > suppose. > > John, can you send me a sample of what you are after and the relation > it was created from? The Heysen Trail is a good example. As mentioned, the google version of the route is available for download from: http://www.heysentrail.asn.au/heysen_trail/maps.php The Heysen Trail is still very incomplete on OSM, but what there is of it is here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/124080 The Hume & Hovell Walking Track and the Bicentennial National Trail are other examples I'm actively mapping as time allows: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/308594 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/176684 John H _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
