http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Privacy_Policy#GPS_Trace_Data is perhaps a better link which answers the question asked and states policy. The difference is that public GPX uploads can be downloaded in GPX form, and are associated with your username. Non-'public' points can still be downloaded, but timestamp and creator are stripped, leaving basically a 2d scatterplot with some extra information on some of the nodes sometimes. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
