I have created clean .gpx files for Filetto Way, Walpole, MA, US and Falcone Lane, Walpole, MA, US. I upload the traces which are very simple (road is well defined by first and last point). However, the traces first appear with pending, and then disappear. What am I missing? Thanks! Don Rolph asked 01 Jun '13, 19:11  DonRolph closed 01 Jun '13, 20:15  Richard ♦ |

OK: it looks like Gamin's Mapsource does not produce GPX files with time stamps and OpenStreetMaps wants timestamps in the GPX files. I edited in timestamps with wordpad and all seems to work now. answered 01 Jun '13, 19:18 DonRolph |
Many mappers use a program called gps babel to down load and process their traces. Time stamps are required. They are a witness to a walked, driven or ridden survey and not just a tracing from another map. It is not a good idea to create them with a text editor. see http://www.gpsbabel.org/ answered 01 Jun '13, 19:59  andy mackey |
Not sure what's happening here - I regularly transfer data from a Garmin device using Mapsource (version 6.13.7) via "transfer / receive from device", save as GPX, and upload without problems.
