    Da's heel apart, die ik het in ChatGPT dan krijg ik dit te zien:

    Geen .gpx bestand zoals bij @Dikke-Wim. Doe ik iets verkeerd?

    Ik heb ChatGPT gebruikt en daarbinnen de ChatBot "Travel Guide". Helaas kun je die maar zeer beperkt gratis gebruiken. Dus gisteravond moest ik wachten om verder te kunnen.

    Maar uiteindelijk wordt er een GPX file gegenereerd en een KML file op mijn verzoek om in Google Earth e.a. te kunnen zien.

    Zie hieronder wat ik bedoel met "Travel Guide">

      @Dikke-Wim you can also use Qgis to harvest POI's from OSM mapping.

      This is Castles for UK and Ireland.ksnip_20250113-163911.jpg

      You need two add ins to get the information QuickOSM
      Which gives a dialog like this.

      QuickOSM.jpg
      And POI exporter which allows export as a GPX file that MRA can read.

        @Mzokk Thanks a lot. But.... is a lot of work I guess. Therefore I prefer AI who takes over the difficult stuff. I'm doing some experiments with AI. Curious how things work out.

          Here's another attempt in three simple steps:

          1. Launch a query on overpass-turbo.eu

          Overpass-1.jpg

          1. export as gpx

          Overpass-2.jpg

          1. upload into MRA

            I do not think @Greenham want to harvest POI's but to put his own POI's into MRA in bulk.
            I use Excel to make them and then convert to GPX.
            MRA only uses the description but If I load them into my Garmin I get the other fields also. I am now busy to find out how to bulk import a GPX into my little housemade tool.

              Thank you very much! It seems to work great....
              However, not all dots of castles of South UH that are shown on the map are found in MRA when imported.

              Do you have any idea how to fix this? See screendumps below.

              See e.g. Cornwall with many castles

                  Unfortunately even when I zoom in more than in the example above, no additional castles appear. Only "few" of the cirkels with castles in the overpass.eu website, are visible.

                  Any suggestions what I do wrong?

                    @Dikke-Wim

                    OK - let's focus on "Crane Castle" as an example; it's this one:

                    crane 1.jpg

                    Please have a look at the GPX you've uploaded with an editor and search for "Crane", there should be a match like this:

                    crane 2.jpg

                    In MRA, search for "Portreath" and zoom in to a scale of 1 km / 1 mile or less:

                    crane 3.jpg

                    Does it show up?

                      And one more note:

                      I have just noticed that "historic=castle" can be modelled both as a ‘node’ (point) and as a ‘way’ (path, here in the sense of area). They appear as yellow dots for nodes and red dots for ways/areas.

                      That's why my example query node ["historic"="castle"]; is not ideal, because it only finds castles that are modelled as a point.

                      Better, as in your example, is nwr ["historic"="castle"]; as it includes nodes, ways and relations.

                        OK - I got it.

                        You need an out centre (instead of an out geom) to create a single node for ways/areas. This will generate waypoints for both types (nodes and ways) when exporting as GPX.

                        Here's the result

                        https://hidrive.ionos.com/lnk/LhseBgcKc

                        for the query:

                        UK Castles 3.jpg

                              What method do you mean? I don't get it.
                              For me: the easier the better!

                                  OK - I got it.

                                  You need an out centre (instead of an out geom) to create a single node for ways/areas. This will generate waypoints for both types (nodes and ways) when exporting as GPX.

                                  Here's the result

                                  https://hidrive.ionos.com/lnk/LhseBgcKc

                                  for the query:

                                  Sorry for the confusion!

                                  @Martin-Wilcke this is amazing never knew how to use this feature! It would be of great help if the MRA team @Corjan-Meijerink could make a YouTube tutorial on this. 🙏

                                    I do not think @Greenham want to harvest POI's but to put his own POI's into MRA in bulk.
                                    I use Excel to make them and then convert to GPX.
                                    MRA only uses the description but If I load them into my Garmin I get the other fields also. I am now busy to find out how to bulk import a GPX into my little housemade tool.

                                      As another member of this forum asked me the same because I replied here, I have been dusting off my 20 year old programming skills in Excel VBA 🙂

                                      the today status of the tools is the following

                                      • Import simple POI GPX files into Excel

                                      • Edit the imported file and add Symbol, Description, Street, Phone etc for import into Garmin devices

                                      • Export the POI file to GPX format

                                      • Double Click on the filled in row and the POI wil open in Google maps.
