I posted this over in the sci.geo.satellite-nav group http://groups.google.com/group/sci.geo.satellite-nav/msg/4611b54879973a19 and thought it worth a try...
Is this still the place for talking about GPX or is this now just a place for me to get stock trading tips? In the Map Authors group, a few of us are working...
Hello, ... Doug, here's how this group works now: 1. You ask for something to be added to the GPX schema. 2. If you're lucky, a few people will chime in with...
... So I guess that means I'll never get a fix to the bug with the magnetic declination which I've squawked about several times in the past? That sucks. -- ...
Hello We are interested of phone numbers as well. We planned to put it in extencions, if no better idea. www.tracker.fi let's see, where Nokia puts them....
Extensions seem a great place for it, and you don't have to worry about coordinating with the community. On the other hand, the "X" in XML means "extensible",...
... Yes, I think a common extension for contact information would be a good addition. There should also be fields for email address, web address, street...
Hello, ... There seems to be a common mis-understanding about how this mailing list (and GPX itself) works. Nobody is in charge. Decisions are made by...
... Before creating a new domain, I'd suggest looking into whether GPX-related activities might be able to be accommodated under the OSGeo umbrella: ...
... I think we have a process problem. How many people need to be interested in a particular addition before it will be added? Who (committee members) decides...
... If Garmin has an extension that solves this problem, is there an objection to using it? Their competitors may (or may not) find it distasteful, but that...
... Dan does raise an interesting point. In this crowd we seem to have plenty of Geolocational-ish expertise that knows what they'd like to see in a file, but...
I think we get getting this whole extension idea back-to-front and getting into some bad modelling. Take hints for geocaching as an example. Caches have...
... does not make sense to extend GPX for other properties of things that have locations. In my mind there is a difference between Waypoints and Points of ...
... I'm not one to implement suggested changes in schema, I'm just a voice in the crowd that's saying if there going to be change, then how about......
The GPX file information, dare I say meta data, includes fields for file description, key words, etc. I would like to see a field for what I call the...
found where garmin is letting it in the gpx file. <wpt lat="52.317361" lon="6.532597"> <name>waypoint test</name> <cmt>adres</cmt> <sym>Waypoint</sym> − ...
... Or you could load all the data into a spatial database, which would allow all sorts of search possibilities, and then return the database query results in...
Hello, ... Be very careful about relying on Garmin's private GPX extensions. I've been burned once already - I implemented temperature and depth in ExpertGPS...
Hello, ... My programs fill in the <bounds> information, and have a private extension that stores the "active point" (the starting point for distance/bearing...
... Thanks, Dave. As you may know, what I have is not a database, per se, but a growing collectionof gpx files. Until recently I provided geographic index...
... [snip] ... We have GPX_Overlay and Style. Perhaps we can add a GPX_POI extension schema that has fields to support points-of-interest. I'm sure lots of...
Beliefs of Successful Market Timers Successful market timers, meaning profitable market timers, have several "common" beliefs that help them achieve consistent...
this message we did become from garmin: " Q.1: How is it possible to use the GPX format and POI Loader to create Custom POI files that allow direct dialling of...
... [snip] ... Okay so it won't be GPSBabel. Maybe it'll be POIBabel (containing an XSLT processor or calling one already on the system). Someone has to write...
... Point taken Dan; the silence here is loud. I'm not surprised that Garmin is not speaking up because they are pushing format - GPI - for which I understand...
Hello gpsxml, A long time ago, I remember someone created a utility that would create various geometric patterns (circles, spirals) in GPX format. If anyone...
... I don't think it does GPX directly, but gpsfeed+ does circles and spirals in NMEA sentences. http://users.hol.gr/~dzach/gpsfeed/index.html Lil Devil...
Are there and resources to read on the web about developing geocaching utilities (or just reading the .gpx file) in VB? Just like to know what methods I can...
