[Potlatch-dev] GPX time elements

[Craig Stanton]

I've already edited the gps trace to remove the wibbles and with over 2600 miles of trace I don't think it would be faster to draw over it in Potlatch The preprocessing of replacing the time stamps with identical values doesn't take very long now that I know it can be uploaded that way. It's just one entry at the command line, and one if your favourite text editor. It could even be shortened to one if I knew the regular expression for it.

Does no-one else see this as a bug that I need to modify valid data to get it imported? If it just divided it up into joining ways tI could understand, but actually loosing data is a bug. The points after each cut were missing.
