Hi Jordi,
It's great to hear that others has heard from you.
The gpsies.com website that currently donates a whole lot of GPX tracks is
http://www.openstreetmap.org/stats/data_stats.html
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/GPSies_com
They do so by after uploading a track (a gpx file with 1 track in it), then
go in to the tracks details when refining the track...
http://www.gpsies.com/upload.do
There is an option between "Altitude Range" and "Description" to submit to
OpenStreetMap, as a 'Default:User or a Specific user, and a check box to
agree to the terms of use' that links to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ
I hope that helps.
Sorry, i dont know how to implement that same thing.
AFAIK bikemap.net (and it's sister websites) doesnt do this yet, nor does
everytrail.com, so your site could get the advantage. as it's much simpler
to use, and with no Adds. Awesome!
Hopefully, there are some programmers who are able to help you out with
this.
I would think that it would be a notice when users log in, that their is a
new option available to users. The rest is up to the users to decide.
And oh ya, thanks for showing the OSM layers of Opencyclemap and the mapnik
layer of OSM, it really help with route planning / track sharing, it's still
on my list to share my route segments. :)
Cheers,
Sam
