GPX Data Editing Part.2


GPX data is not recorded while GPS signals cannot be received, such as when traveling underground by subway. The next point is recorded when GPS reception resumes, so the track may look as if it has jumped across the map. Warp correction is used to fix these straight “warp” lines.

Turbo GPX supports the following warp correction methods.

Splitting Tracks by Distance Gap in Map Display

By setting a gap value in the track parameters for map display, tracks are not displayed when the distance between points exceeds the specified value. However, the result may not work as expected if Color Coding, Overlap, or Multi Segment is enabled. When using track gap splitting, the following settings are recommended.

Item Setting
Color Coding None
Overlap Unchecked
Multi Segment Unchecked

Manual Correction Using Point Editing

This method inserts points between two existing points to correct the track.
It is suitable for relatively short gaps, such as tunnels.

GeoJSON Correction Using overpass-turbo.eu

overpass-turbo.eu is a web tool that lets you search OpenStreetMap (OSM) data by conditions and display the results on a map. It also appears to include a good amount of railway data. The displayed results can be exported in GeoJSON format. You can then import that file into the map editing window in Turbo GPX. The imported data can be handled as regular editing data.
