[R-sig-Geo] processing GPS track data?

[Lukasz Szybalski]

What you want to do with the data?

You could try http://openstreetmap.org/
They have the tools that allow you to upload gps traces to their
software if you can share it.
They should also provide some tools that allow you to reformat the gps
trace to let say osm,kml,or shp files.
