If you download the example that I mentioned above and look at it in a text editor, you'll see what needs to be added. Yes, if you fake a short section of GPS track in the file with waypoints in it. Also, is there any way to salvage the marks that we collected and turn them into usable data points? This track is an example that I edited manually ages ago to show that it can be done. No, as has already been mentioned, most OSM editors are capable of processing GPX files containing both GPS tracks and waypoints, but in order to upload a GPX file to OSM there must be at least a small GPS track in the file as well. you could also upload your gpx file to a website (some offer simple temporary upload without registration) to view it: see Track drawing websites in our docu wiki.you could use JOSM, iD or Potlatch2 with a mapnik background (no vector/data objects – iD: Menu "background settings" → "background" → "OpenStreetMap (Standard)" Potlatch2: Menu "background" → "Vector file" → don't show "main").Upload_GPS_tracks#Uploading_Waypoints links to there. There is also this slightly outdated how-to for waypoints with Potlatch2. As far as I know the waypoints are not available publicly but for yourself – at least Potlatch2 (loading your own traces via the gps menu) then also shows the waypoints with labels. In addition uploading gpx files with waypoints to the osm.org server is possible - but they also need to contain tracks (one track point with a time stamp is enough). For iD: just drag a gpx file onto the editor map for Potlatch2: Menu "background" → "Vector file" → "Open".
#INPUT GPS WAYPOINTS WITH GPSBABEL PC#
You can load gpx files with waypoints in nearly every OSM editor (that is JOSM, iD and Potlatch2) directly from your local PC (without first uploading to OSM.org).
