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.
