Hi Frank,
I think the problem is that there are no time-stamps associated with your
trace. The parser rejects and points that do not have an associated time
stamp.
The OSM parser/renderer does not discard duplicate points - only ones that
it thinks are 'corrupt' - ie have missing elements.
I think you proeduced the file using Map Source? I didnt know that it could
convert to GPX. THere may be some setting somewhere that allow you to
select which fields it converts - though it is a very budget piece of
software - so maybe not. Have you tried GPSBabel? It runs on virtually
any platform and is free. Download it from http://www.gpsbabel.org/
Good luck
Nick
