<div dir="ltr">I'll say it again: at the moment, regular people can not get a decent gpx track of a trail out of osm unless it is pre-ordered. Single chain, sorted, no branches, hooks or major gaps. These gpx-s are needed for navigating apps and devices, so you can have them guide you exactly along the trail. Nederland has numerous fixed foot trails and an ever increasing crowd walks these trails. They are adopting the digital version of a trail guide very rapidly, comparable to the way car navigation conquered the world.<div><br></div><div>Please have a look at Nederland on the hiking map of waymarkedtrails to get an impression of the density of the walking trail system in the Netherlands.<br><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Fr gr Peter Elderson</div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Op wo 21 aug. 2019 om 23:34 schreef Volker Schmidt <<a href="mailto:voschix@gmail.com">voschix@gmail.com</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 21 Aug 2019 at 20:48, Peter Elderson <<a href="mailto:pelderson@gmail.com" target="_blank">pelderson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I have to correct myself: I thought OsmAnd really performed routing when navigating using a gpx trail.
