+  This format is used to exchange data with the <ulink url="http://www.openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</ulink> project.

+  These data files are XML based. Every GPS element (way or node) described by the files has a unique
+  number as identifier. When we write OSM data files and don't know something about the id's,
+  negative numbers will be used as identifier. This has beed tested with <ulink url="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM">JOSM</ulink>.

+  Because the resulting timestamps of OSM ways aren't in the manner of real GPS track, 
+  we read OSM ways into routes. On the output side we write all available routes and tracks into the osm target file.
