View Garmin trace
Hi
Is there anyway to view a gpx trace from a Garmin on Openstreetmap without going into edit mode?
I did a trace on the place yesterday and wanted to see the path it took. I've tried putting it into Google Earth, but that now prompts me to view the product to be able to view the trace, and I'm not that bothered - just vaguely interested in the route we took
The journey was from Southern Ireland to London, so it's not that long
Cheers
Mike

Re: View Garmin trace
You can see your trace using MapSource (free software from Garmin) and load both your GPX and OpenStreetMap maps. QLandkarte is another option but both require you to download and install software...

Re: View Garmin trace
Hmm, is that an ironical answer? :confused:

Re: View Garmin trace
http://bbarker.co.uk/animate/gpx.php does it on a Google Map, and I believe the author is considering using Mapstraction so that OSM is an option.
