[OSM-talk] HOWTO: edit GPX tracks using JOSM

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

Depends on what's there in the first place ;-) if you have a GPS that
stores only lat/lon/time in the GPX then there's nothing much to lose.
Extra bits that might be in the GPX, like hdop/vdop, speed etc.
probably won't make it through.

You said that you're not aware of a tool that does automatic filtering
out "the occasional point 100 miles out" - gpsbabel can filter stuff
that is outside a given polygon, or more than x units away from a
given line, or more than x units away from a given point (-x polygon,
-x arc, -x circle). Still requires manually specifying the reference
points though.

Bye
Frederik
