 # gpx_reduce_light
 
-* gpx_reduce.py is a version of the [original gpx_reduce][1] with no dependencies.
+* gpx_reduce.py is a modified version of the [original gpx_reduce][1] with no dependencies.
 
-    The [original version][1] depends on scipy, lxml, numpy and pylab.
-    Because the program only does some basic linear algebra, all these dependencies can be easily removed.
+    The original depends on *scipy, lxml, numpy* and *pylab* (which are heavy requirements).
+    However, these dependencies can be easily removed, because the program only does basic linear
+    algebra.
     This has two benefits:
 
     1. easy installation (nothing needed apart from python)
-    2. the program is considerably faster than the original.  
-        This is because the original uses a numpy array for each trackpoint which
-        incurs a large overhead for creating and for all subsequent little computations.
+    2. the program is considerably faster than the original.
+    
+    A stand alone windows executable (win32, 3 Mb) can be downloaded from <https://wim.vree.org/sporen/gpx.html>
 
-    The one disadvantage of removing all depecencies is that the plot option had to be removed.  
-    Usage example:
+    Usage example (see [original][1] for a better description):
 
         > gpx_reduce.py -d 2 -t 30 your_track.gpx
 
+    The disadvantage of removing all dependencies is that the plot option had to be removed.  
     I made a separate python script with one dependency for plotting tracks:
 
-* gpx_plot.py, a script to plot one or more tracks with "gnuplot".
+* gpx_plot.py, a script to plot one or more tracks with [gnuplot][3].
 
-    Gnuplot has to be installed and the path to the binary has to be changed in the code
-    to reflect your installation:
-
-        gnuPlotCmd = 'path/to/gnuplot'
+    Gnuplot has to be installed and if the path to the gnuplot executable is not */usr/bin/gnuplot*
+    you have to specify the path with the command line option *-g /path/to/gnuplot*
 
     Usage example that compares a reduced track with the original:
 
         > gpx_plot.py your_track.gpx your_track_reduced.gpx
+    
+    and with the -g option:
