How can I merge them? e.g. 1st file named "(2,2 nm) Mid-Way - Unknown 201305211720" 2nd file named "(6,4 nm) Unknown - Midlothian 201305211724" 3rd file named "(11 nm) Midlothian - Mid-Way 201305211728" Is there any way to merge these files to one file like "(19,6 nm) Mid-Way - Mid-Way 201305211720" and show the complete breadcrumb trail? Removing the "#Start" row in each file did not work, because of the ascending numeration in each row Any idea? Georg Tags merge log files

This produces files that can be edited in a text editor, e.g. notepad, so much easier. Open the first file, and you'll notice the actual track data is between two 'trkseg' markers, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd" version="1.1" creator="SkyDemon Plan v2.6.3.0" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"> <trk> <name>Northampton Sywell - Northampton Sywell</name> <trkseg> <<<<<< ================= <trkpt lat="52.301990" lon="-0.795403"> <ele>121.4933</ele> <speed>15.844889</speed> <time>2010-10-16T09:56:00Z</time> </trkpt> ..... ..... </trkseg> <<<<<< ================= ***** INSERT HERE ******* </trk> </gpx> Take the next file, and copy the data between the <trkseg> markers. Paste it where shown. You can do this as often as you like, but make sue you keep the data in the right time order: <trkseg> ..... ..... </trkseg> <trkseg> ..... ..... </trkseg> <trkseg> ..... ..... </trkseg> <trkseg> ..... ..... </trkseg> .gpx format files can then be viewed in programs such as google earth.
