How do I use the infromation from gpx file to add information to track

General talk

Hello, could anyone help me with the following question (first day with OSM, and not experienced with Javascript)?

I used the examples in the OSM pages to build a map that show a track with the following code

var lgpx = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("GPS route", gpxfile, {
    format: OpenLayers.Format.GPX,
    style: {strokeColor: "red", strokeWidth: 5, strokeOpacity: 0.5},
    projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
});
map.addLayer(lgpx);

NOw I am trying to use the data in the gpx file to add a marker at each km but to do that I would need to be able to see the coordinates of the individual points so that I can calculate distances between points and add the marker at the desired location and I am really stuck.

I appreciate any help

thanks
