[OpenLayers-Users] Create and Email GPX file from Vector layer

[Borja Lafuente]

You don't need to create the actual ".gpx" file in the client side. Sending
an email would require you to:

1) create a web service that accepts the email address and the gpx file
contents, and sends the email with the content encoded as an attachment.
2) call that service sending the file content as the request payload (see
AJAX).

There's plenty of info about that on the Internet.
