Ok, well, I've just had a go at this, and it didn't work for me. The track came through, but no waypoints.

A pretty common use case (get waypoints. upload waypoint file.) is being deliberately unsupported to prevent one of many possible forms of vandalism/copyright infringement. Maybe if there was some kind of "trusted" flag, who knows. Anyway, that's a real pity. Next option - is there someone here who could do this for me? I have about 10 or so waypoint files. Maybe some brilliant JOSM user can show me how it's done. Steve _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
