If you're using a Treo, you can try windRose (windrose.tidalwave.it). I'm using it regularly to record my tracks and the latest version can export GPX - I've piled up a set of tracks from the latest weeks that I'll upload to OSM as soon as I've finished studying the documents. Should be there any minor flaw with the exported format, I can fix it very quickly. -- Fabrizio Giudici, Ph.D. - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
