Haha! Sorry, Eric. I couldn't remember your user name and thought it was epeterson or something. It has been awhile since you posted, ya know
.
But since you commented, when are you gonna finish your Android version of the mapset so we S3 Mini users can use it on our phones?

EP will always be a legend. Someday when I’m old and on my death bed lurking on this forum listening to the new kids bitch about buying lottery reservations 12 months in advance to camp overnight at the RJ cabins I’m going to chime in and say “you whippersnappers wouldn’t even have the privilege of camping there if it weren’t for the likes of legend EP, back in the day we had to…..”
(or something like that)

I had to walk 10 miles uphill to school, and 10 miles uphill back home...

Not always barefoot. Sometimes, Momma gave us bread bags for shoes...

Even more specifically, use "site:gpsfly.org" to totally restrict the search there.

But how? From the average user's perspective, OSM data is this mysterious untouchable background layer that can be traced but not directly accessed. Is there a straightforward way to pluck a trail from the OSM dataset and download its coordinates?

Wow the great adamschneider is stumped on a mapping question. There is no hope for the rest of us!

That's kinda my point... I have 10+ years of experience with making maps online, and yet everything about OpenStreetMap is still pretty opaque to me. (I'm sure I could figure it out if I really dug into it, but I haven't been that motivated yet.)
