Cleaning/editing GPX (tracks) files recorded from GPS device in QGIS?


During a long trip, I have recorded tracks of my journey with the GPS of my smartphone. I have ended up with about 30 GPX datafiles.


Now that I am back, I am trying to draw a map of this trip. I imported each file in QGIS as vector layer, and visualized the tracks with OpenLayers Plugin.


Now I need to edit some of these files:




  • basically trimming the end and beginning of many files

  • merging some tracks

  • adding a title or a description for each track


What is the way to do it with QGIS ?


I would like to keep as much data as possible from the source data (timestamp, elevation)



Answer



The best solution I have found so far is : QLandkarte GT


It does all the actions I have listed and much more. The only trick is to get map overlay, but it is easier with the latest version.



It is worth to mention that it's multiplateform software.
