I'd first ask the creator of these points what the use of them is, but my first 
reaction would be to delete them.
It seems that whatever program he used to download his tracks from the GPS, it 
created a POI for every trackpoint containing the information of the distance he 
traveled.

Really of no use in OSM IMHO.
