GPX data is stored in two places. If you have edited GPS tracks and waypoints with no extraneous data

then it will go into the <a href="http://expo.survex.com/repositories/home/expo/loser/graph/">Loser DVCS repository</a> in folder /gpx/[year]/ e.g. <br>

GPX data is stored in two places.

<ul>
|

<li>initially in <em>expofiles/gpslogs/...</em>

<p>

GPS tracks are voluminous and we also get a lot of repetition
|
||||
as people tend to follow the same routes for part of their walks. So the initial raw data is kept in
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
expofiles/gpslogs/<year>/<MyName>/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
e.g.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
expofiles/gpslogs/2018/PhilipSargent/
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>and you can create sub-folders for raw data and edited data, or for different parts of the plateau. You should always
|
||||
keep the raw, untouched data as well as any hand-edited data.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The process for uploading the GPX files to a specific folder <em>expofiles/gpslogs/...</em> is exactly the
|

same as for uploading photographs, so go to <a href="uploading.html#morecomplex">these "more complex" instructions</a>

<p>Note the naming convention for this folder created by Philip Sargent in 2018.

Human names in folders in expofiles are written in CamelCase; not lower-case letters.

This is for consistency with the naming for

<a href="uploading.html#experienced">uploading photos</a>.

If you have edited GPS tracks and waypoints with no extraneous data
|

then, after agreeing this with other people as to its qualityand appropriateness,
|

it will go into the <a href="http://expo.survex.com/repositories/home/expo/loser/graph/">Loser DVCS repository</a>
