[OSM-newbies] Waypoints in JOSM

[Otso Ylönen]

I use an application called WhereAmI in a GPS handset to make 
annotations along the tracks. The waypoints will appear in the format:

<wpt lat='60.379570' 
lon='23.141108'><ele>38</ele><time>2009-01-05T12:55:16.000Z</time>
<name>Salohalli</name></wpt>

in an exported GPX file.

These can be easily loaded into JOSM. Tho only caveat with the 
application is that if your locale in your handset replaces the decimal 
point with a comma (e.g. lat='60,379570'), JOSM is not able to interpret 
the location of the waypoints and they will all be stacked in the upper 
left corner of the map area. So, in such circumstances, you better 
replace the commas with points before loading the GPX file.
