[Openstreetmap] Newcomer: problems with GPX files

[Andy Robinson]

You can download your files again from the server from the "GPS traces"
page. Open in a text editor to check if they are all the same file. If they
are, then you may have uploaded the same file three times without realising
it.

If the files have been imported correctly then when you hover over the
"edit" link for the file in "GPS traces" you can compare the link address.
The Latitude and Longitude should be different if the gpx files were
different. 

Also note that there may be a problem with gpx file imports to the database
as we speak.

Cheers,

Andy
