Hi All,<br><br>I have been updating the wiki pages about recording, converting and uploading GPS tracks. My aim is to have these 3 pages (record, convert, upload) acting as a nice guide.<br><br>== Progress so far ==<br>1. I updated the "Upload" page [1] to bring it up to date with the fact that GPS data is just one part of the picture. The original page was from a time when aerial imagery and other data sources were not available. I also moved FAQ questions to this page.<br>
<br>2. I rewrote the "Making GPX Tracks" tool to include the fantastic online conversion tool at GPSVisualizer.com (no need to confuse people with GPSBabel software). A simple "how to" for conversion is now prominent at the top of the page. Technical details at the bottom.<br>
<br>== Current project - Where I need your help ==<br>3. I have started to update the page on recording GPS tracks [3]. This is where I need your help. There are some obvious questions that should be addressed on this page:<br>
<br>* Can I use a iPhone / Android phone? What is the accuracy like? Which Apps are best?<br>* Where should I record tacks? If the answer is anywhere, then where would you recommend I focus my attention (e.g. rural roads)? Is this the same globally?<br>
<br>What should the page say in regard to these questions? All thoughts welcome.<br><br>== Future ==<br>Really the page titles should be updated to "Recording GPS traces", "Converting GPS traces" and "Uploading GPS traces". How do I move the pages without messing up the language stuff? Is it possible to mass move all translations at the same time?<br>
<br>Regards,<br>RobJN<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Upload">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Upload</a><br>[2] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Making_GPX_Tracks">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Making_GPX_Tracks</a><br>
