See tags
It would be more usefull to see (by a click on the Track) the Tags of the Track that I uploaded. So if I make a Track on a Motorway I can the, when I´m Editing, that it is a Motorway. --S sommerkamp 20:45, 23 March 2007 S

What is the purpose of Tags on uploads?
What is the purpose of upload tags and what is the proper format for entering them? --User:Gowen 14:35, 25 June 2007
- Tagging section has since been added. Does that clarify things? -- Harry Wood 16:19, 15 October 2007 (BST)
Define some common tags for GPX files ?
IMO it would be good to have some common tags for the GPX files - even if they are not used at the moment.
E.g.
- which vehicle that was used to create the track? (car/bike/foot)
- Is the track recommended for certain vehicles? This information could e.g. be used by a router algorithm for bicycles. Likely a lot of people just add tracks of their preferred ways and not tracks that aim to cover may streets.

- Yes. Seems like it could be a good idea to list some suggested tags on the page here. Or even show a 'Tag Cloud' -- Harry Wood 17:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Take care of the file format
I wanted to upload my first gpx-files. After a few minutes I got an email with a failure-message. After some tests I found the problem. I created the files using a Linux-OS. The files were saved in unix-file-format. After I converted them to DOS-file-format (using unix2dos) the files were accepted.
I think, this is the most important part of the failure message:
Bad file descriptor - /usr/bin/file -bz /home/osm/gpx/94495.gpx
