Does Maemo Mapper support .GPX files?

Greetings. is maemo-mapper capable of importing .gpx files? I'm having issues importing the following (I was under the impression id *did* support them), so perhaps someone can either tell me otherwise, or point out what's wrong with the following (small) bit of code:

Thanks!

Re: Does Maemo Mapper support .GPX files?

Maemo Mapper doesn't support the wpt tag. It's a long story, but it doesn't really fit with Maemo Mapper's track data structures. (Why are the waypoints separate from track points? How am I supposed to correlate the two?)

Maemo Mapper only supports the trk tag. The trk tag in your example should actually cause a three-point track to be imported into Maemo Mapper (as a track or a route, depending on how you open it). To create waypoints, a given trkpt object should have a desc tag inside it, the contents of which determine the text that is displayed (or read by flite) when you approach the waypoint.

I've been meaning to add more robust support for GPX to Maemo Mapper, including support of the wpt tag, but it might break backward compatibility, so I'm saving it for Maemo Mapper v2.0.

Thanks -- I'll write a parser that does some substitution and converts all the wpts into 1-point tracks (that seems like the only workaround at the moment?). Would an interim solution (or perhaps even a persistent one) be to treat orphaned wpt tags as POIs? Ultimately, that's what I'm trying to do -- I've built a large custom map in Google Maps that I'd like to import into maemo-mapper, however almost all of the data on my custom map is POIs (restaurants, landmarks, etc.), and when I run the exported KML file (downloaded from GMaps) through my KML2GPX converter, it converts all of my POIs to wpt tags.

Use the desc tag, not the name tag.
