...but if you then click "save" it says "nothing to save" - you STILL have to click aaall the way through the track, re-tracing your GPS trace, which does indeed look slightly redundant. Is there a way around this, I wonder? It would make sense to be able to show the start and end points and then tell it to use all GPS points in between to make a way. I subscribed to the list to ask this particular question, as I've spent considerable time re-tracing GPS tracks after I've asked the software to "convert to ways". Thanks! Alex PS: This is an excellent project that I only feel privileged to contribute to. I am traveling in Asia for a few months and use OSM exports for my GPS, which give me an absolutely a-ma-zing degree of detail for most places. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
