[OSM-talk] uploading gpx files. how to?

[Stephan Schildberg]

Thank you Tom. This is a good answer to me.
First I just tried it in JOSM itself, thinking it was sort of self 
explaining, at least it offers me the possibility to upload data.
After trying this (I wonder where my "uploaded data is and which form it 
has now) I found a tiny link on:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Portal:Users

The sentence on this page is: "Upload them to OSM here 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces> (you'll need an OSM account - get 
that here <http://www.openstreetmap.org/create-account.html>)"

and the first here links here:

After finding this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Upload


If this is the only hint it should be BOLD and CLEAR and not shy as this 
one.
Then I come to this page: http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces
Well it shows that people have uploaded their files, but damned 
instruction, how I can do it is not there!

Meanwhile I discovered, that both files I uploaded with JOSM in the 
meaning of raw data are converted to tracks!
I would like to erase both of them, maybe some of you could remove them.

I am willing to translate a clear description and how-to into German, as 
soon, as I find one.

regards, Stephan.
