This script aims at automatically adding waypoints (WPT) on a GPX route. These waypoints are particularly useful when you follow a route on your GPS to know or remind you the points you pass. It can be for example, the name of a mountain pass, the name of a peak or the position of a source of drinking water, etc.
Here is a standard gpx file cointaining only the route to follow:
After processing, new interesting waypoints are automatically added on the gpx route.
pip install gpxpypip install overpasspip install osmapipython osm_wpt_on_gpx.py inputfile.gpx outputfile.gpxFor Suunto users the outputed gpx can be imported on movescount map. Note that unfortunately the waypoint types are not recognized by movescount.
For Garmin users and in particular with the Fēnix 3 watch, the gpx file can be transfered on the directory: Garmin/NewFiles/. For others watches or more details on the file transfert, I recommand to read this.
