DC Bus Stops

I want to work on getting the bus stops I use updated, with the proper routes and use the proper NextBus stop identification numbers.

Tools

GPSBabel

According to this thread from the OSM Newbies Mailing List, the following command will merge your track files with all your waypoints in a different file.

gpsbabel -t -w -i gpx -f waypoint.gpx -i gpx -f track.gpx -o gpx -F  merged.gpx

If you want a merged file straight from the GPS device itself, the following command looks like it worked for me.

gpsbabel -t -w -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F test.waypoint.and.track.gpx

-T is for tracks, -w for ways. -I is to designate a Garmin device as the input type, and -f indicates it is opening a connection over USB, not for a file. -O is obviously the output format, GPX. And well, I will let you guess where the magical present ends up with the -F parameter.
