This last month, I have uploaded in OSM 2 GPS tracks of 2 walks I did in the forests of Finland.

I have then tried to draw the trails in OSM according to my GPS tracks, using both Potlatch and JOSM.
While the "Seitseminen national park" track is appearing, the "Isojärvi national park" one is not, whatever the layer option I choose.

I have uploaded the tracks a few weeks ago.

I am trying to find out why, but still can't understand why the second track is not appearing altough I have chosen the same options as the first one.

If you read this and have a clue about the reason, please give me a hint!

Export data from OSM to a GPS device?

Posted by waluyo on 6 October 2009 in English.

Hi,

I am quite new to OSM. I managed yesterday to import a GPS track to OSM and was able to draw a few trails I walked on this last weekend.
But now, I was wondering if it was possible to export data from OSM to my GPS?

I saw that you can export maps as an image (jpeg, png...) but is it possible to export anything else that can be read by a GPS?

I have an eTrex Legend HcX. I am starting to use it and don't know all its functionnalities. I don't think the GPS device is able to read image files, but maybe something else?
Please let me know if you can help me.

Thanks!
Sincerely,

Xav'

PS: why isn't it possible to register anymore on the OpenStreetMap forum?
