GPX tracks exported from ArcGIS - which is the Gold Standard when it comes to mapping software - will load, but modRana loads them incompletely. For instance, a gpx made up of several tracks will only display the track points and segments within the first <trk></trk> handle. Subsequent <trk> entries are ignored.
Good find! I took a quick look at the code and it seems it (well, I wrote it myself - about 2 years ago ) really just takes the first segment.

(It was too long to put in CODE tags, and I had to zip it to avoid "invalid file" message.)
Thanks!

In fact, all my GPX tracks will display properly in Mappero, and their KML equivalents display properly in Marble.
The Upoints library/module is used to handle the GPX format, but not all of the available functionality is actually used/supported in modRana at the moment (Upoints even supports KML & other formats). So it is possible Mappero just uses some other part of the GPX format that modRana doesn't support yet (wpt ?).

Thanks in advance !
It shouldn't be that difficult to fix the trackpoint-segment issue & look why the Mappero produced tracklog won't work. I'm quite busy at the moment (exams) but I should be able to get back at it (+merging in Wikiwides improvements) in a few days.

I'm looking forward for some serious stress testing of the GPX support in modRana from your side.
