Greetings, this question has two parts:

1) Is there a tried-and-true method of converting the Google Maps generated KML files to a maemo mapper formatted POI database? I found an app online called KMLToGPX that created a GPX file, however Mapper doesn't seem to like the file.

2) Here is the GPX file I'm attempting to import; can anyone see why this doesn't work? (After I click "OK" it thinks for a moment, and then just takes me back to the map -- none of the points, or the track, show up).

A few other notes: Currently, I have no internet connection -- i'm merely looking at downloaded Google Maps. I'm also using v. 1.4.5. Thanks!
