A handy trick for importing #kml files into #OpenStreetMap with #gpsbabel:

```
gpsbabel -i kml -f transects.kml -x track,faketime=20120901000001 -o gpx -F transects.gpx
```

As I understand it, importing kml into OSM is deliberately broken by most tools, to discourage users from digitizing features directly from #Google maps for use in OSM, which would violate copyrights and cause problems for the project.

In this case, a student created a transect map in Google Earth, and I want to use it on OSMand. Which shouldn't infringe on anyone's copyright.

Of course, if Google hadn't long abandoned the "Don't Be Evil" facade, maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

@phpmacher Nö einfach gpx mit #gpsbabel in poi-format umwandeln und bmp-Datei als Kommandozeilenoption übergeben.

@miklo @pk Thank you! #gpsbabel looks like a great tool.
