[OSM-talk] How to manage GPX files?

2009-12-29 Thread Steve Bennett
What software do people use to manage their GPX files? Mainly I want to be able to upload sections of GPX – rather than the whole thing – to Potlatch. And it might be nice to be able to combine a couple of traces into one long trace. Thanks, Steve ___ ta

Before I learned about OSM, I had already purchased some commercial software called ExpertGPS (the Pro version so I could convert the traces to SHP). I could do the GPX->SHP conversion with free tools now that I've learned about it. What I still like about ExpertGPS is the ease of editing GPX

[OSM-talk] Potlatch not displaying bridges

Hi Is this just me or widespread? When editing in Potlatch any bridges that I, or others, have tagged in the last 3-4 weeks don't display with the heavier black border lines. Any that were tagged before display fine. All bridges display correctly in Mapnik. Any ideas? Cheers Dave F. __
