Thanks. I get the drift. I will write a modified perl script which will do 1

For a little fun before bed I wrote a quick utility to do this. Result:

http://ni.kwsn.net/~toby/OSM/tropic_cancer.gpx

It has one trackpoint for every degree of longitude starting at 0
going east to 179 then -180 to -1. All at 23.5N obviously.

JOSM is happy with it. No guarantees beyond that :)

Enjoy

Toby

[OSM-talk] Tropic of Cancer(Slightly OT)

2011-01-18 Thread Tanveer Singh 
Hi,
I was just wondering is there a GPS track somewhere which actually marks the
tropic of cancer. While downloading maps for oziexplorer, I have the option
of overlaying a gpx track. With tropic of cancer track, my map would have a
nice red line crossing it marking the tropic of cancer.
