It happens because the GPX API doesn't provide editors with enough information to distinguish between GPX tracks, you just get all track points in a given bbox. Thus editors like JOSM have to resort to hackery such as "draw a line between any two points if they're less than X distance apart". _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
