OK, I am answering this one myself:<br><br>In<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_Track_example" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_Track_example</a><br>right after <br>map.addLayer(lgpx);<br>
<br>one needs to add:<br>lgpx.events.register("loadend", lgpx, function() {<br>this.map.zoomToExtent(this.getDataExtent()) } );<br><br>That's all folks.<br><br>Jan<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 6, 2009 at 8:45 PM, Jan Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:janmartin3@googlemail.com">janmartin3@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I noticed that in all examples the variables "lat", "lon" and "zoom" are hard-coded.<br>
<br>However I'd like to load a .gpx file like here:<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_Track_example" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_Track_example</a><br><br>Then dynamically calculate the "lat", "lon" and "zoom" variables from the .gpx data, so the map will always just fit.<br>
<br>I mean, websites like <a href="http://www.gpsvisualizer.com" target="_blank">http://www.gpsvisualizer.com</a> and <a href="http://utrack.crempa.net" target="_blank">http://utrack.crempa.net</a> handle tracks this way, so why not openlayers?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">
