annual waypoint maintenance

I just finished the maintenance and my brain is tired. Took a few hours over two days. The workflow is:

  1. download all waypoints from OsmAnd, both existing and those added as I found things in the previous year.
  2. use gpsbabel to convert .gpx to human-editable .csv
  3. strip a temp file down to the new entries. Sort and dedupe
  4. clarify each the waypoint name and category (BOONDOCKING, STEALTH, WATER, etc)
  5. add in elevation data for boondocking spots
  6. break out each entry into it own existing category file, dedupe
  7. run a script that combines the category files into a couple useful groups
  8. use gpsbabel to convert .csv to .gpx
  9. clean out Google Maps and OsmAnd data
  10. 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
