 * Hi!
    I would like to use your plugin and maybe develop it further. Could you 
   answer me for what reasons you prefer to use GPX-files and not database like 
   mysql, mssql or other? Dmitri G.

 * Hi,
 * using GPX-files has got the big advantage of combining this plugin with other
   geo-plugins, like the [WordPress OpenStreetMap plugin](http://www.Fotomobil.at/wp-osm-plugin).

 * Hi Dmitri!
 * Another reason is, that the GPX file format is generated by GPS-trackers nativly.
   So there is no need to change the format and import it to Mysql or any other 
   database.
 * If you want to do development on this code feel free to clone the project from
   [https://github.com/wwerther/Wordpress-GPX-Plugin](https://github.com/wwerther/Wordpress-GPX-Plugin).
   
   I don’t keep the SVN very much up to date, since I prefer git for versioning.
   I only put in new versions their.
 * Best Regards
    Walter
