GPX→OSM: convert additional tags for trackpoints

[simon04]

Follow-up of #13717.

When converting a GPX layer to an OSM data layer, also tags for trackpoints should be converted.

[simon04]

A (small) test GPX file containing trackpoints with useful data would be welcome.

I think that there is a misunderstanting. For me, the trackpoints are simply all the points in the gpx/nmea file.
Currently when you convert a gpx layer to a data layer, Josm takes lat/lon to place the nodes but that's all.
I'd like to see/edit the other informations like the timestamp and the elevation.

(A few months ago, I had to geolocalize a lot of indoor pictures. I was drawing the way in josm, converting it to a gpx, editing the timestamp in another tool, then reopening it in josm to geolocalize the pictures.
Editing the timestamp directly in Josm would have save me some time.

Replying to StephaneP:

geolocalize a lot of pictures.

For this task there is the ​PhotoAdjust Plugin to place the photos at their position and direction and then the ​Photo_Geotagging Plugin to save this in the EXIF information of the photos.

I know these useful plugins, but I said "a LOT of pictures" (more than 10 000).

The time information is not lost, it's just not modifiable right now as we keep it in the node timestamp:

You can view it through advanced object info.

Interesting advice, but I don't see the sub-second value :-)

In 14051/josm:

see #14103 - add ele tag during GPX->OSM conversion

fix #14103 - GPX → OSM: convert additional tags

[StephaneP]

Hooooo yeaaaah !!!

Thank you Don-vip !

[Klumbumbus]

Needs to be documented at wiki:/Help/Action/ConvertToDataLayer ?

[Don-vip]

Yes, we could add a small sentence and Stéphane's picture to state that all GPX tags are copied to OSM nodes.

[StephaneP]

I've added some informations in the wiki.

BTW : Perhaps it could be a good idea to convert the *DOP values too.

I have a BIG issue with this new feature : I rework my GPS tracks with JOSM before sending them to "My Tracks" in my OSM account.
Then :

• open a raw GPX file
• use "convert to data layer" (now with version 14066 I have blue squares with "time" and "ele" tags)
• remove some useless points
• save to GPX
• upload to "my tracks"

=> Now I receive an email telling that
"Hi,

It looks like your GPX file

xxx

with the description

xxx

and no tags.

failed to import. Here's the error:

Generic XML parse error
XML parser at line 1 column 2

More information about GPX import failures and how to avoid
them can be found at: ​http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/GPX_Import_Failures"

Please add an option somewhere to have the same behaviour as before.
(or keep time information when exporting to GPX file)
