We only use GPX to get tracklogs for tracing from GPS receivers. We don't store anything else as GPX. We don't build "tracks", "waypoints" or "routes", we build maps. :) OpenStreetMap data is already in use on Garmin units: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
