Display Track

Hi all, I'd like to display a GPS track (gpx file or similar) on a osm map (see for example: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_Track_example) Does this also work with the maps extension? Thanks Peter

It doesn't. Probably can be made to though. Any chance you can fund creating such functionality?

I do this by pre-processing the GPX data into a list of points. This has the added advantage that you can filter out redundant points and data reducing display and download time. I currently only include points 30 metres apart, which seems to work quite well. Example here, or lots more here.

Heh - that's an interesting approach :)

There is KML support now though, and line/polygon support (defined in wikitext) is being worked on in Maps (not SM though).
