Dear escada and Warin61,

Thank you for the pointers. Yeah it makes sense to retrace the trail to reduce/deal with the errors/nodes/copyrights from a GPS. It’s just an additional step that’s all. Looking forward to community mapping. Haha, even this can be addictive eh.

Ah, a sac scale, never knew such a unit existed for hiking. Although the keys (T1-6, yellow to blue) aren’t really… descriptive of tropical forest hiking areas. Most of our trails are hard because of undergrowth bushes, steep muddy slopes based on soil types and forest types…

Yup will look into trying out JOSM maybe later on, for now Potlatch should work fine for me.

A big bunch of thanks for your support! =D

Hi Robert and Warin61,

thanks for your quick replies and help!

Ah, I just found out that I needed to use Polatch 2 instead of the iD in browser editor for adding GPX tracks to OSM.

This is a jungle path. so it would be unpaved and the max speed is erm… as fast as one can walk? haha. Is there a way to provide/attach these secondary details to a GPX track uploaded to OSM’s GPS traces? (Other than writing them down in the details and tags).

wow… i never really got involved with a community forum before! this is fun!
