[[TranslatedPages]] = GPX Layer > Markers From Named Points = [[JOSMImage(addmarkers,48,link=)]] Most GPS receivers let you create 'Waypoints': positions with a known time, location and name. Sometimes you provide the name explicitly; other units automatically number waypoints in sequence. Such waypoints are automatically turned into Markers in their own Marker Layer when you [wikitr:/Help/Action/Open open] a GPX file. However, some GPS receivers or software offer an easier-to-get-at function, to name or number the current point on the track being accumulated. These are not automatically turned into markers by default. Markers From Named Points creates a marker layer from such points. You can also set the 'Create markers from named trackpoints' preference in [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Audio Audio Preferences] to have this happen automatically. Beware, however: some GPS units name all of their trackpoints. You would not normally want to convert such a track into markers, so you will not set that option or use this function if you have such a unit. == See also == * [wikitr:/Help/AudioMapping Audio Mapping]. ---- Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/GPXLayer GPX Layer] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Marker Marker Layer] \\ Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
