Hi, I've tried both OSMTracker and OpenGPSTracker for Android to generate gpx files. On opening them with josm version 3966-1 I cannot see any waypoints, just the grey line of my track which is apparently uneditable. Here a sample of my gpx file: <gpx version="1.1" creator="nl.sogeti.android.gpstracker" xsi:schemalocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/gpx/1/1/gpx.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:gpx10="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0" xmlns:ogt10="http://gpstracker.android.sogeti.nl/GPX/1/0"> <metadata> <time>2011-03-01T14:17:31Z</time> </metadata> <trk> <name>Track 2011-03-01 15:17</name> <trkseg> <trkpt lat="47.6107058" lon="10.6137722"> <ele>863.2999877929688</ele> <time>2011-03-01T14:17:36Z</time> <extensions> <gpx10:speed>1.1180340051651</gpx10:speed> <ogt10:accuracy>13.0</ogt10:accuracy> <gpx10:course>359.5</gpx10:course></extensions> </trkpt> . . .asked 27 Mar '11, 20:47  toad |

If i remember right the OSMTracker generates two different files for waypoints and trackspoints, like YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS-wp.gpx and YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS-tp.gpx. Are you sure you haven't missed to transfer and open the wp.gpx-file in JOSM? Apparently the gpx-file above has no waypoints because there are no wpt-entries in it. Generally there is no problem to have both trackpoints and waypoints in the same gpx-file, but it's convenient to have them separated because then you can toggle them individually in JOSM. answered 27 Mar '11, 21:28  gnurk edited 27 Mar '11, 21:30 |
I don't know Open GPS Tracker, but regarding editing GPS traces in JOSM, it can be done. Right-click the GPX trace layer, select "convert to data layer", and the trace can now be edited. To convert it back to GPX, right-click the layer and select either "convert to GPX" or "export to GPX". answered 28 Mar '11, 22:28  tongro Tongro, you got the gist of what I was trying to do and say - many thanks! I remember trying that option before and shying away from it because of the warning it gives. This time I ignored it and, weyhey, it worked :) (28 Mar '11, 22:44) toad |
Thank you for your quick answer. Here is what I do: - stop tracking - select "share track" - send it to my email address I've checked settings of both applications but do not see any reference to "waypoints" as such apart from how often I want to log my position. I double checked the files on my SD card and none of them have waypoints, only trackpoints!? answered 27 Mar '11, 21:58 toad I've never used Open GPS tracker, but from the screen shots at http://code.google.com/p/open-gpstracker/wiki/ScreenShots i guess that the Make Note-button is the one that creates waypoints. Have you used that button, or why do you expect some waypoints to be in the export? (27 Mar '11, 22:39) gnurk |
Take your tcx file from the garmin and convert it to gpx using http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ and then it should load properly in JOSM answered 24 Apr '11, 19:57  Hotbelgo |
JOSM creates separate layers for track and waypoints when reading in a GPX file containing both. It does that for me anyway.
