[OSM-talk] GML to OSM (Re: convert mapinfo POI to osm for uploading)

[maning sambale]

Thanks for pointing this one out.
Can gpsbabel convert GML to OSM?  Last time I checked. it can't:
http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-1.3.5/The_Formats.html
I may have to dig dipper.

Any other way?  POIs are around 7,000 points.
