[Qgis-user] gps plugin

[mtnbiketrail at zzz.com]

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm using a geotiff from California, Albers 
Equal Area, NAD83, and coords show as -268867,392264. No matter what I 
tried, I could not get the gpx to plot over the geotiff, even with 
projection on the fly. I wish I knew how to get the geotiff in clean.

I ended up using a jpeg of the geotiff with no coords and 
georeferencing, then used a delimited text plugin of the gpx extract it 
to make it work.
