Jo,

I'll think you will find that the trackpoint data is timestamp order, or at
least in the order they were parsed into the database. If you save the
returned data as a gpx file and open in an off line editor you will find
that the tracks are logical except that there is only one track rather than
a series of tracks, thus the last point of one tracks jumps immediately to
the next.

'map' in 0.2 doesn't work for me, using the bounding box and syntax
given above or a different bbox covering east London. 'trackpoints'
seems to work fine. But there's no time data, which streams of
trackpoints for post-processing aren't so much use without?
