Thank you for this .. seems the obvious tabletty thing to do so of course I didn't think of it. I'd prefer a hardware button "record the current position as a waypoint" as on my Garmin (press and hold "enter" as I recall") but don't think it appears in the config. "Insert a track break" does, which I recently assigned to a key, and the position can be pulled out of the track GPX with a little effort. Re. the original question, I have a script which stores a track in a binary tree database which I can later interrogate to find where I was at a given time, i.e. the timestamp on a digital photo. One thing is it takes ages to save the track from maemo-mapper (I guess convert from some internal format to GPX) so you want to do it often. I mean, every day or so. My Garmin has limited RAM and so an auto-filter feature for tracks. I'm not sure exactly what it does, but in principle if you are going mostly in a straight line at constant speed you need only save the acceleration/turn points. My photo script does interpolation to guess the actual position. I was trying to write a filter to post-process mapper tracks but it's crude. Probably there are tools out there but I haven't looked; I tend to write my own in Perl and make maps in XFig. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
