[OpenLayers-Users] Loading a local GPX file into an OpenLayers Vector layer - solved

[Robert Sanson]

OK - here is what works:

Once I have read in the local GPX file into memory, I have a function that creates the Vector layer:

var gpx_format = new OpenLayers.Format.GPX({externalProjection: new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:4326'),
     internalProjection: new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:2193')});
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
	var contents = event.target.result;
	//alert(contents);
	var olgpx = gpx_format.read(contents);
	var gpxl = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("GPX Points",
		{isBaseLayer: false,
		styleMap: gpxStyles,
		rendererOptions: {zIndexing: true},
		extractAttributes: true });
	gpxl.addFeatures(olgpx);
	alert("added " + gpxl.features.length + " features to layer");
	map.addLayer(gpxl);
	alert("added gpx layer to map");
	map.zoomToExtent(gpxl.getDataExtent());
};

Kind regards,

Robert Sanson
