Hi,

> Can data from GPS base camp (gpsbasecamp.com) be used in OSM?
It might be technically possible, but it is most likely illegal.


> The site has state and national park data formatted in GPX XML.
Would be nice to have those, but the people who uploaded their files to
gpsbasecamp.com only made them available only to that site and for
personal use. They did't grant anybody the right to make maps from their
traces.


> Does that mean that it can be opened in GPSBabel or directly in JOSM.
Both can handle data in GPX format.


> So far I haven't been able to get them to work in either.
Which is a good thing in that case...


Perhaps you could identity the top contributors of gpsbasecamp.com and
ask them to make their traces available to OSM too.
