Well, right now there is only one timestamp: at the beginning of the file. OSM, if I understand right, needs timestamps on each individual point.

Sorry for giving you the trouble, but I would be glad if in a new version you added an option to restore an old track to OSM-readable view by adding timestamps (like: was this log originally logged every 1 second or every 2 seconds or every 5 seconds? and then add individual timestamps, based on the time-stamp in the beginning of the file)

Thank you! Right now I just have to close the program and to reopen it to see the log.

Thanks! Just sometimes (like when looking at the default included tracks) I cannot know where I'm situated without map, and I cannot get map tiles for high zoom level without knowing where I'm situated. Having a lower zoom would allow to see what continent and country I need. And find out what tracks you put into each installed ModRana map.
