1) Creating fake points is not in my projects. There is a gap between your tracks because a track is only a succession of points, when you cut a track you do just that, cut the succession, you don't loose or gain any data.
Let's take an example : I logged a trip and come with one solid track across many days. I want a track per day, but I don't want to keep the logging that occurred when I slept, drove or flew, only the one during my walks. If I follow your request, those day-walk tracks will still touch, even if there is 6 hours or more between them, even if they are in a totally different place.
Another problem would be that there is no indication in the GPX format for eye-candy points, so there would be no way to tell if an end-point is here for real, or just to please your eye.
I won't add that behaviour, it's wrong and doesn't depict reality.
2) Undo would be nice indeed, I'll try to add it as soon as I can. |

My Garmin GPS creates a new track inside the GPX file every time I turn it on. If I leave it on, it will create one long, continuous track. If I get those long tracks, I normally want to split them up by activity (i.e., when I transition out of the car to start a hike. However, I don't always want to create a gap between them. The trackpoint at the split should belong to both tracks--the ending point of one, and the beginning point of another. It's not a fake point.
It would be useful to show the individual trackpoints, too (like with an X), and have some way of individually selecting to delete them or to choose where to split a track. Currently it seems to be a bit ambiguous where the split happens--sometimes it's on the segment where you click, sometimes it's the next (or previous?) segment. |

Strange Behavior:
I use my Favorites in the NUVI to have name + phone #. When I edit the GPX file, any editing causes the waypoint to be duplicated - the original then the modified one. I am aware of this already, you have to go in and edit/delete the waypoints you want on the NUVI itself. The problem is the phone numbers/addresses do not transfer. In fact there is no place in the editor to enter this information.
I'd like to create a waypoint that contains:
Name
Address
Phone Number
Is it possible to create a waypoint with these tags from within GPX editor then copy it back to the NUVI?
Even if you erase the current.gpx file on the NUVI, it must store it somewhere else because the old waypoints keep coming back.
Plus, if I am in google map mode, then I click on a waypoint, it goes back to preview mode and then has to recalculate the google map.
Is there anyway to stay in google map mode? Once you zoom in on where ur looking it's a pain to go back to preview mode. For example, I'm in google map mode, I've zoomed in tightly on 4 or 5 waypoints. I click on one of them and decide to edit some of the details. It takes me out of google map and I have to go back and zoom in all over again and again.
Under waypoint properties, it would be really nice to capture/edit Address, City, Zip and Phone Number.

Address, city, zip and phone number are not standard GPX fields, as such, they are not supported by GPX Editor.

Just a program I'm looking for!
My GPS Datalogger stores NMEA-sentences (GGA and RMC), which I convert with GpsBabel. From this files GpsBabel seems to make tracks, so I checked the option 'transform tracks to waypoint' to have both in the converted file and to get such a view in GPX-Editor:
The pink waypoints are the trail I went, but at this part I had to walk around a little bit to find the right way. So all waypoints in blue color (and the tracks also) I want to delete. I hoped, that I can select a waypoint in the preview-map and than it will be selected also in the list.
In the version 0.0.74 I can only select a waypoint in the list and it will be highlighted in the preview. With a track of 4000 waypoint it sometimes not easy to find the point I'm searching for. Moving with the mouse over a waypoint getting someting like a tooltip (a label with the number of the waypoint) would make it easier.
Next: in the list I can only mark/highlight one point - I want to thin out that kind of part, where I walked around to find the right way (this part has 367 waypoint, because my GPS Logger write a sentence every 5 seconds). Choosing more than one point and deselect them all will be fine.
Some ideas for a filter:
- only use waypoints, that have an HDOP better than 1.0 m or 2.0 m or 4.0 m
- merge point that are nearby together not more than 0.50 m far from each other (to thin out parts when I make a rest or have to walk slowly) and have a timestamp with identical hour/minutes.
Ah,just another thing: Zooming with the mouse wheel is ok, it will be also nice, if the direction arrows will accept the arrow buttons from the keyboard.
Bye

A little bit later:
Normally I don't need waypoints, tracks are enough. I see the button 'Delete a point on a track', that could be a good way to delete parts. But the button is disselected after one deleting. So it's a lot of work to select this button for every delete-operation.
Moving a point of a track to another position will be a nice feature, also an undo-function.

As you found out yourself, creating waypoints is pointless, but I'll answer to your first questions.
Selecting a point on the preview, selects it in the list, when a track or a point is selected, you can press Delete on your keyboard to delete it.
Deleting waypoints by DOP is an interesting idea, but it seems only useful when you capture a big cloud of points to retain only the "best" points which would be a somewhat unusual usage and a bit out of the actual scope of GPX Editor.
You can already delete points which are too close.
Moving the map with the keyboard is a good idea, I'll try to add this function as soon as I can.
If I would want to do what you are trying to do, I would separate the track in three, remove the offending part then paste the remaining parts together. It is not very efficient and I'll try to add your suggestion for a "remove track in area" button. |

I tried it with 'Cut track' - if I have to delete some hundred waypoints, two cuts and one 'Bind track' are not such a big problem.
By this I got serveral error messages, but I cannot reproduce them:
1. Indice de liste ... limites (-1)
That happened when I want to make the second cut; I have to kill GPX-Editor with the TaskManager, because the message comes up again and agin. At the next try I had no problems.
2. Opération en virgule flottante incorrecte
After the both cuts, when I want to delete a single point ('Delete a single point on a track'). GPX-Editor has been in full screen mode and I'm moving the mouse near to a point. May be the program cannot decide the correct point? At the next try I had no problem.
Now some things about 'Reduce point count':
- The Douglas-Peucker (I found a description at Wikipedia but I don't understand the difference to 'unsignificant points') is not good. It reduces the number of points from 4601 to 6 - 31, that's too much reduction!
- What are 'unsignificant points' for your program? The text told me for example "that are closer than 0,5 m". Does that mean, the program is starting with the first point of the track, looks if the second point is less than 0,5 m near and delete it, looks if third point is also less than 0,5 m near, if not than it use the third point and looks, if the fourth point is less than 0,5 m from the third point away and so on?
I don't like the scale, at the moment it is 0,5m - 2,0m - 4,5m - 8,0m - 12,5m ... 55000m. Because I do a lot of hiking, a scale starting with 0,5m - 0,8m - 1,0m - 1,2m - 1,5m - 2,0m will be better. So what about a entry in the .ini-file to choose between hinking/bicycle/car/airplane?
- I still think, that a filter over the HPOS-value is a good idea, because those points may have an inaccurate position (even at the "warm up" at the beginning). So I would first filter with the HPOS-value and then a second time over the distance between two point.
- The 'reduce point count'-window shows me not my complete track, there is a part beeing cut off on the left side.
Saving the file means to loose a lot of information! I'm missing the number of satellites and the hdop-value.
Bye

Fantastic program, it’s the kind of program I was looking for for a while!
I made some tests with version 0.0.74.386. I thought you might be interested in my observations.
•I think there is a problem with deleting points in the Track properties window. Visually one can delete points but when you close the window and open it again the initial points are back!
•After cutting a track in for example two it is no longer possible to display the track segments in the Google Maps tab. But when you save and reopen this works.
•When you open een file containing waypoints only it is not possible to display those in the Google Maps tab.
•In my opinion it would be very useful the have the possibility to make multiple selections in the field where the waypoints and tracks are displayed. This way it would be much easier to delete series of waypoints for example.
•Another feature which I really would like to see is the possibility to visualize the waypoint names in the Google Maps tab. |

Okay, I thought this program was exactly what I wanted, but I cannot seem to get the "Delete track point" function to work. I bring up the track properties window, select some points, and hit "Delete Selected". The track point number goes down, and the map in the window redraws. However, when I hit "OK", the window behaves as if I hit "Cancel". The real map is not redrawn, and when I re-enter the track properties window, it looks as if I didn't delete any points.
What am I doing wrong?

| I'm working on the next version right now. It's a full rewrite, trying to satisfy the most interesting requests I got. I hope I can show you an early version soon (even if it will be near to useless in it's current state). |

I have problems to compile the source with delphi 7, it come the error message:
[Fatal Error] GPSUtils.pas(7): File not found: 'Fastcode.dcu'
How can I solve that? |

Google Knows :
http://www.google.com/search?q=fastcode
Add the fastcode project to the libraries.
And just for those who are curious here is a actual "Work in Progress" Alpha of the next version : GPX Editor 1.0.40. |
