Hey, I'm trying to edit down a rather long hiking trail gpx to the bits I need (to work out distance and get rid of superfluous information for when I finally transfer it to my Garmin/phone). I've tried a few different pieces of software to delete points but this is not coming to me intuitively. I've also tried recreating the route using mapmyride, but this particular trail (Rideau Trail in Ontario, Canada) isn't known by Google, so auto routing isn't working. Anyone have something they'd recommend?

This is the train/GPX: http://www.rideautrail.org/discover-the-trail/maps/

We're going to walk about a third of it next month.

That gpx contains 38 separate tracks and 21 other items of information plus 145 waypoints. Deleting points will not really work unless you join the individual tracks first. I would try recreating the route but not too sure I can advise you where.
If you tell me the names of the tracks that you will be walking I shall join them in sequential order.

Thanks for responding! I've just gone and done it old school with paper and pen (before I realized Excel also works). Got a four day route all planned out - exciting!
