There is a GPX library for python, available under the Apache License 2, which as far as I'm aware is AGPLv3 compatible.

GPXpy library

It could be used to add custom routes to the map, as well as custom waypoints, in case these details aren't salient where the upstream OSM-data is concerned.

How best to implement this?

Maybe a flexible layer system added to the render base class where optional passes can be put on the stack.

First the background would be pushed, then the map, then the grid, then the index and footer, etc. These get popped off the top by the renderer, which calls the appropriate method to render that pass onto the canvas.

If you wanted a custom layer, say waypoints from a GPX file, you'd insert it into the stack at the appropriate spot before kicking off the renderer.

Point of note: Waypoint's name would have to be added to the Index too, so these optional render passes (if that turns out to be the way to do it) should be able to twiddle that index data.

It all needs to be styled as well.

All in all not a small task, but has a possible side effect of making the render class more flexible. Also opens the way for adding KML support for the same purpose.

If rendering this kind of optional information works out, it would additionally be useful for [https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?10118 task #10118: Allow creation of route-planning maps.

I'll start researching this in a topic branch, see where it goes. If it leads to something useable, I'll fire off some patches. I'd be able to use this personally and professionally, so I'll give it a go.

Fair warning: Could take a few months with my schedule as it is, though, so if it doesn't go anywhere I'll unassign myself from the task again. ;)

[field #14]      Original Submission:     Hello

To have a solution to publish a map with a home made path, i thinks it's a good idea to add ability to upload a gpx file that describe my path.

Have a nice day.
