No, the GPX files are not "corrupted", as the XML structure is intact and 
valid.

I agree with you in the fact that the conversion process has gone wrong at 
some point, and the data has been converted into waypoints instead of being 
converted into lines. The data may have been corrupted, but the files are 
not. Pequenha diferença, ne? ;-)

I'm currently working on a method to convert DGNs (spanish 1:25k topo maps) 
into OSM format, by using GML as an intermediate step and my own hack-ish 
gml2osm script. (I still have to wage a license war to get that data into the 
main OSM DB, though)

I'll try to have a look at the DGNs, but I can't promise anything.


Cheers,
