annual waypoint maintenance
I just finished the maintenance and my brain is tired. Took a few hours over two days. The workflow is:
- download all waypoints from OsmAnd, both existing and those added as I found things in the previous year.
- use
gpsbabel
to convert .gpx to human-editable .csv - strip a temp file down to the new entries. Sort and dedupe
- clarify each the waypoint name and category (BOONDOCKING, STEALTH, WATER, etc)
- add in elevation data for boondocking spots
- break out each entry into it own existing category file, dedupe
- run a script that combines the category files into a couple useful groups
- use
gpsbabel
to convert .csv to .gpx - clean out Google Maps and OsmAnd data
- upload the update .gpx files to Google Maps and to OsmAnd
In practice when I get near a spot I check to see what waypoints I’ve saved. Might stay there again, or use it as a jumping-off point for exploration
