[OSM-talk] Big GPX upload

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hello all,

I've finally uploaded all my legacy geowiki.com GPS tracks (2002-2004).

Most of these were downloaded from my eTrex using a program which shall 
remain nameless but which had a rather dodgy lat/long->OSGB conversion 
routine. Getting them back into the original lat/long has required a 
bit of processing... superimposing them on a bunch of pure GPX tracks 
suggests they're ok now.

All are for the UK, except for the Eurostar line to Brussels. They 
should be especially useful for those mapping A and B roads around the 
"greater Midlands", because that's where I tend to do most of my 
driving. Total distance is just under 8000 miles. All tracks are 
public.

Because they were recorded with an original yellow eTrex, which logs 
more points on corners than on straight sections, they're more suited 
for use in an app like JOSM (which can join the dots between points) 
than in the applet. Consequently, should anyone want to download them, 
here's a zip of all of them plus tracks I've collected since:

Also uploaded to the wiki are some very old waypoints I collected back 
in 1999 or so:

Have fun :)
