search GPS trace

Does anyone know if there is there a way to search the GPS traces for specific areas? Right now all I can find is a list of uploads in chronological order...

Hmm, which is the easiest way?!

for a smaller area the JOSM way is easiest.

2	You can search using tags, like this. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it might help. permanent link answered 08 May '11, 13:58 SomeoneElse ♦ 36.9k●71●370●866 accept rate: 16%

In JOSM you can download the points of GPS traces which lie inside your downloaded bounding box (you have to check "download GPS points" in the download dialog).

In the meantime there was also a release of all non-private GPS Points ever uploaded to Openstreetmap. For bigger areas it might be best to extract them from this file.
