*edit
thx @Nic Roets

@TomH I use them to get the names of the street...I could take my bike and drive to the streets and read the names from the signs...so I don't see that there is a problem...(the online services don't have a copyright on the names...)

seems that it works since yesterday (sunday) evening...

errh...where can I check that yahoo thing?! doesn't find it

this is the output I get every time I try to upload something
"Hi,

It looks like your GPX file

kirchg.gpx
