Subject: Re: [Openstreetmap] upload, applet
Hi.

>From Alex on the osm mailing list (it's a discussion about the applet
drawing strange small red dots):

Is this true? My understanding does not differentiate from a track point
and a node. Every trackpoint get importet as a node and line segments
are constructred from those nodes. Tracks are constructed from line
segments, so if the red dots mentioned are really track points (=nodes),
and are captured from a track, you should see small lines between the
red dots.


So please, tell me what's the idea of importing data:

- all the track with all segments with all points are importet directly
  as tracks, line segments and nodes.

or

- an additional data type called "trackpoint" is uploaded which has 
  nothing to do with "nodes".
- User has to add nodes, segments and tracks manually via an external
  client (as in the example here: the applet). 
- the "trackpoints" are only a visual guide.


Ciao, Imi.
