Thanks for the clarifications.

It seems that in Mappero the existing map is simply scaled up/down with some graphics algoritm without extra- or interpolating the data. Then new map substitutes this when downloaded.

Very nice!

Tried this by copying up-to-date speedcamera .gpx file to right location and renaming it to import.gpx. The result however was the same "Failed to import landmarks from 'import.gpx'". The same file works fine with Mappero.

This might be the case. Have to check this next time.

Anyway the package is already so good that I'll prefer this over Mappero in most cases. Thanks once again!
