Hello,
It's an interesting filter to add. I often fin myself deleting manually bogus points in long GPXs (I do it with the bottom graph and displaying speed values). I think I could do it within the parameter you suggested.
The only problem I can see is that the actual filtering framework is not very stable, and sometimes GPX Editor crashes unexpectedly when I try to play with it.
So no guaranties, but I'll try to add this feature as soon as I can (which may take days or weeks under my actual work load).
Thank you for your feedback and idea. |

Great software. Thanks for working so hard to create it.
I am having a problem setting track color. I set the color using extensions <topografix:color> and style track color. At first it did not work on your preview screen, but at some point it started working. I think it started to work after I used the "delete points in box" feature.
When I view the file in google maps or google earth all the tracks are the same color. Is this a google problem or your files?

After checking "Support GPX Style" and "use GPX Style line color", you have to restart GPX Editor, or it will not work correctly.
I supports
<extensions>
<line xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/gpx_style/0/2">
<color>004000</color>
</line>
</extensions>
not
<topografix:color>
which does not follow GPX conventions. It seems this format predates GPX 1.1.
It seems Googple Earth, which once supported this extension, does not honor it anymore (as does Google map in a browser). You should export your GPX to KML in GPX Editor if you want to see the colored tracks in both (but you will loose informations, you should always keep your GPX original). |

I figured out where the <topografix:color> field came from. It was embedded in the GPX file created by the android app "my tracks". When I imported the file into your software you showed it in the extensions section.
Thanks for explanation about colors in your software and the work around for google earth.
I imported the KML file into maps.google.com and it dislayed the different colored tracks. (http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_to_import_xml_kml_data_file_google_maps.html). If you converted the data to KML format before you called google maps in your software would you be able to get around the color problem you are seeing?

The google map tab in GPX Editor should display the colors if you choosed to ( in the google map preferences). In this tab I convert the GPX in pure javascript, optimized for google map display. Loading a KML in this pane, althought possible, would not have any positive effect.
The next version of GPX Editor will import the old GPX 1.0 <topografix:color> to its 1.1 counterpart. I tried it on a few 1.0 GPXs and it seems to work.
I can only suggest you ask the authors of the others programs to shift to GPX1.1. I tried My tracks myself and I was anything but impressed, their GPX is really of poor quality, I really thought a Google team knew better. On android I now use OSMTrack. |

I'll take a look at OSMTrack. I don't know the GPX file format so had no opinion about the files my tracks created. I don't love my tracks, but it works. I think some of the google software is just something someone created on the side that they don't have a lot of love for. They get it working and don't look back.
This GPX file was generated by motionX-GPS on an iphone.
I'm not seeing my colors in your google maps window.
I see them in the preview window after I zoom in/out
google maps window

Thanks. That's what I needed. It's working perfectly, now that I know how to use it.
I see that you create a .HTM file to display the google map. Is that something that I can use on my website or my hiking club can post on theirs? Is there any copyright issue? |

Pixel_k hi,
for a very long time i am in a quest to find a decent GPX editor. and seems like i've found it!
you are doing a GREAT work - keep it up and keep updating.
in my profession i'm a user experience expert (and user interface developer).
i do have some comments that i believe will do good for the program and will leverage the... well... user experience.
i believe i can help!
if you are interested please contact me at my email: shemeshi at gmail dot com |

Hi Pixel_K, I'm here again with a feature request.
I use a gps logger to record my running sessions.
Once I come back home I download the gpx from the gps logger and often I find that the track is not well aligned with the streets. Sometimes it seems that I ran through buldings.
It would be nice to have some tool to move the points in order to put them on the road.
I suppose that this would somehow break the gps concept, but I wonder that if the track is obviusly wrong it's better to correct it than have the original gps data...
In my mind the tool should work in a "spline like" behaviour: assume that the gps track is good until point X and then there are a number of points in the building and then it comes back on track at point Y, I'd like to select the track from point X to point Y and then move all the points between X and Y "stretching" them with the mouse.
I realize that the description is quite woolly, but I can't find a better way to write it. |

How come that I have the Filter by precision data grayed out?
Do I have to enable somehow? |

shemesh : I just sent you an email.
effemmeffe : As I've repeated many time, I won't support the creation of fake, manipulated, redacted, corrected, whatever track data outside of the one already available. I won't explain again why.
You can't filter by precision because there's no precision data available. If you have precision data and GPX Editor doesn't enable the option, please make your data available to me, so that I can correct the bug. |

About manipulating points, it's your program, it's your choice. If I was able to modifiy your code I would, but I'm not so I'll respect your decision.
About the filtering question, my bad, obviously I totally missed the precision data concept, sorry. What is precision data?
Today I'm struggling with two problems.
I have a very big gpx file, 30943 points recorded over two days.
First of all I'd like to split the track in two at a given point, I can't figure out how to do that.
Second, I found some points completely wrong, I was driving at a certain speed, let say 150km/h and one point is 266km/h. I'd like a tool to filter based on certain speed. I notice that if I right click on a point I can select a menu Value and delete points with value belove or above the point's speed, I'd like something similar, but with the ability to enter a speed value and remove all points with a speed above (or belove) it. |

What is precision data? HDOP, VDOP, PDOP, if you don't know about it, your pgx probabely doesn't have it anyway. There are gps that exports those data, but I would not be surprised that yours doesn't.
First of all I'd like to split the track in two at a given point
Select the track (it becomes red), then cut it in half with the cut tool 
the ability to enter a speed value and remove all points with a speed above (or belove) it.
It's not possible right now, you will have to find your threshold on the bottom graph ad remove over/bellow, like you fould yourself |
