Older gif teaser
For those who have never used GpsPrune before, or who aren't sure which functions are available, this demo video shows some of the real basics of using the application. The appearance of several aspects of the program have changed quite a bit since this was made, but some of it might still be relevant.
It includes how to load a file, how to view openstreetmap images and change to opencyclemap backgrounds, how to view point details and view in 3d, and finally how to save in various formats.
The video is in the form of an animated gif, runs for about 2 minutes and costs you 570 kB. Just click on the slide below to start the demo.
