What I still like about ExpertGPS is the ease of editing GPX tracks, and<br>
I also use it to download the waypoints directly from my eTrex Vista hcx.<br>
Easy to trim the traces, and more importantly, easy to "simplify" them down<br>
to few enough points that I often feel comfortable converting the traces<br>
directly into OSM ways (via JOSM) rather than tracing over them as GPS tracks.<br>
<br>
I'd recommend installing and learning to use JOSM if you're inclined to edit<br>
things.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Hmm, hadn't thought of doing it that way: convert to way, then trim. I do have JOSM installed, but much prefer the Potlatch interface. JOSM also seems to be very slow when you have a largeish area loaded.<br>
<br>Anyway, Prune looks like it will do the job.<br><br>Aun: Bash scripting is really not my thing. I guess it's personal, but it's just not the way I like to solve problems. I'll leave it at that to avoid a flamewar. :)<br>
