JOSM Tracks2Map Plugin

Tracks2Map is a plugin for the OpenStreetMap editor JOSM. It opens all GPX tracks in the current map view from a specified directory. Optionally, it can work recursively on subdirectories. Only those tracks, are opened that actually cross the map view. If available, associated markers are opened as well.

As the plugin may open a number of GPX track layers and GPX marker layers at a time, it also provides a menu option for deleting all GPX layers at a time.

Building from source

Tracks2Map plugin is configured as Eclipse Java project. The project directory must be placed in josm/plugins of the original JOSM source tree for build.xml to work.
