For two weeks I have not been able to upload tracks directly to my OSM account, OruxMaps always returns "bad request".
I now found out that this appears to happen as I have preset "private" as type of track. After changing it to one of the other types, the upload works. Is this a bug of Orux or did OSM change its policy regarding the upload of "private" tracks?

Thanks for you help,
Reiner

After searching in OSM I just found out that the track attributes "public" and "private" have been deprecated this month. Only "trackable" and "identifiable" habe been maintained.
Despite the problem is solved for me, it might be helpful for others using the upload tool to know about this.
