 Generate linear density map of those lines to show where most tracks go.
 
-Paths hardcoded in script so needs changed first before running it.
+Parameters:
+    1 - Path to source folder of GPX files
+    2 - Target feature class to which data is appended
+    3 - Option to truncate target feature class before data load
 
+TODO:
 Could do with some error handling, create FGDB if it doesn't exist etc
 Also doesn't carry any attributes through from GPX, date/time would be good
