Wish: get the name of the gpx-source

[Luebeck]

it is possible to load the gpx-data of the area i open in josm.

now it was interessed the source of this data - like to open the website with more informations of the track.

a function like this should be exist in mercator.

german:
wenn ich veröffentlichte gpx-punkte in josm über das downloadfenster einbinde dann sind diese so anonym das ich nicht weis aus welcher datei im upload-bereich diese stammen.

ein rückschluss auf diese datei(en) - wie wohl schon in mercator vorhanden - wäre schön.

I can't believ there is such a method in mercator, as we don't get track information from the server API. We only get the GPS points. Luckily they are sorted by time, so tracks can usually be reconstructed.

Provide more information how getting more information for these points can be possible.

It is possible:

$ wget "http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/trackpoints?bbox=0,51.5,0.25,51.75&page=0" -O out
$ cat out
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gpx version="1.0" creator="OpenStreetMap.org" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/">
  <trk>
    <name>20100830.gpx</name>
    <desc>lakes3</desc>
    <url>http://api.openstreetmap.org/trace/819748/view</url>
    <trkseg>
      <trkpt lat="51.7147" lon="3.0e-06">
        <time>2010-08-30T13:37:17Z</time>
      </trkpt>
      <trkpt lat="51.714742" lon="3.1e-05">
        <time>2010-08-30T13:37:18Z</time>
      </trkpt>
...

You can also get metadata using

GET /api/0.6/gpx/<id>/data

Are you looking for (right click on GPX Layer) → Info? It lists all known metadata.

There is also InfoMode plugin that displays clickable links. Maybe links in GPXLayer->Info panel should be clickable?
