+== GPX Layers ==
+
+Creates a new OSM Data Layer comprising a [[JOSMImage(data/way)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Ways way] for each track in the GPX data, consisting of a [[JOSMImage(data/node)]] [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Nodes node] in sequence for each track point. You have the choice to convert all, some or none tags to the track points:
+
+[[Image(gpx_convert.png,link=,margin-right=20)]] [[Image(gpx_track_point.PNG,link=)]]
+
+If you want to use this way as a new OpenStreetMap's highway, this is very much only a starting point. You will need to split the ways up, connect them with correct topology, move nodes around, thin them out, remove the unwanted tags, tag them and so on. **Never upload raw converted ways ! **
+
+=== Advanced preference ===
+The related keys in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference] are:
+* `gpx.convert-tags`: all, list, *ask, no
+* `gpx.convert-tags.last`: *all, list, no
+* `gpx.convert-tags.list.yes`: list
+* `gpx.convert-tags.list.no`: list
+
+
+== Marker Layers ==
+
+When converting a Marker Layer only the following tags of the marker will be converted to osm tags:
+||= marker tag =||= osm tag =||
+||  name  || name ||
+||  desc  || description ||
+||  cmt  || note ||
+||  src  || source ||
+||  sym  || gpxicon ||
+
+You can adjust or enhance this list by modifying the key `gpx.to-osm-mapping` in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences]. The key `gpxicon` is intended for custom icon display within JOSM, so make sure to not upload any keys which should not be part of the OSM database. (See also ticket #13717, the implementation of this feature.)
