My problems started by attempting to import a GPX file into IGO8 so that I could follow a hike and not get lost. Unfortunately, IGO8 only recognized the TRK format and after a bit of searching and not finding anything about the format, I found your RouteConverter and was amazed at how many features it had, given how niche GPS stuff like this is.
With that said, most people are not as geeky as I am and will not be interested in logging their hikes and gathering statistics about them, although the marketing in regards of "track your running/training progress" is increasing. For importing tracks into a GPS there's no other way than converting using your program.

Good Smile I was thinking about simple ways how to spreed this news. Thank you for your ideas!

Also, RouteConverter is great for getting elevation - I have not found any other easy way to complement elevation. Perhaps, try to get into the Everytrail community.

I've tried this with CrossingWays, OpenStreetMap and GPSies. But only the GPSies page brings some users to my site.

I've been using Microsoft Pro Photo Tools to align the photos from my camera to my tracks and let me say, that program is nowhere near "pro". This requires lots of work, but maybe adding the ability to sync/geotag pictures would draw users to the program.

Yes, I already had some users with this use case.

Perhaps, start a blog in which you document features or show how to perform certain tasks in tutorials so that if users search for things like "convert gps path", they may be lead to the blog post about using GPS converter to do that.

Good idea, I'm redoing the website to allow RouteConverter users to edit pages. So I can focus on ideas like yours.
