I have a gpx file with a single point, I'd like to import to OSM as a POI

The file from my app looks like (from GPSLogger)

<trk> <trkseg> <trkpt lat="-XX.XXX" lon="XXX.XXXXXX"> <ele>99.0</ele> <speed>0.0</speed> <hdop>30.0</hdop> <src>gps</src> <sat>6</sat> <time>2013-09-10T18:52:02Z</time> </trkpt>

When I load this gpx file into OSM it takes me to the point, but there is no marker there.

How can I modify the file to be a POI? does gpsbabel support this ?

I've tried

$>gpsbabel -i gpx  -f infile.gpx -x transform,rte=wpt -o gpx -F route.gpx

but this doesn't seem to help

My goal is to log tree locations , along with notes on their species, so I would go to the site, mark the tree, then hit "log single location", the app then saves a gpx, I can convert all of these files at one go after the fact if necessary.

Cheers, Tim

NOTE: I edited to fix my previously broken gpsbabel command line and attempted to fix to display xml correctly

meta: you can insert XML here. Indent the code with one tab (4 spaces would also work). Use a advanced (not notepad) text editor to easily indent. See that other question for example. Note that the preview feature is showing a wrong preview.

It would clarify to others if you could explain what you mean by "load this gpx file into OSM" and "drops a waypoint in OSM". How/where?

arg! I hate answering my own question, but I think this was just an issue with my gpsbabel command

$>gpsbabel -i gpx  -f infile.gpx -x transform,trk=wpt -o gpx -F route.gpx

drops a waypoint in OSM, which makes sense "transform my track into a list of waypoints" not the "rte" as I didn't have one.

Sorry to bother

Cheers, Tim

To upload a .gpx to OSM it used to have to have at least one valid trackpoint in it (regardless of how many valid waypoints it had). Has that changed?
