Hi,

When using Potlatch to map a way from a GPX trace, is it possible to access the time data for individual points or, better still, the speed? When cycling for mapping, I stop along the way and photograph points of interest to record features (water, information, benches) for later tagging. My GPS unit does not have a function for recording waypoints, so if there is tree cover, as on a shared-use bicycle path, I can't always tell where to locate the POI by looking at the trace and Yahoo imagery alone. If I could retrieve the times of the trace points, I could look for gaps where I stopped to take the photos. Speed, of course, would be better. I don't know if this is available in JOSM, but even if it is, it would not be a good option, because I have never been able to get the Yahoo images to display with enough resolution (meaning, comparable to the way they display in Potlatch) to make it reliable for mapping.
