Just read that import into Mapsource throws away timestamps and altitude data, so out of 
luck there.. any idea where this script which re-writes the GPX file is?
Also I'm assuming that this is the only imcompatibility between the two GPX formats as I 
see the original file has slightly different XML fields.
my imported GPX file from GPSr
   <trkseg>
       <trkpt lat="-35.5674434" lon="148.9916253">
         <ele>1353.1928711</ele>
         <time>2007-10-06T08:12:32Z</time>
       </trkpt>

and the route that I generated purely in Mapsource goes like this..
           <gpxx:rpt lat="-33.2826948" lon="149.0939140">
             <gpxx:Subclass>0200f0105100525500001f500200fc5f7e01</gpxx:Subclass>
           </gpxx:rpt>
           <gpxx:rpt lat="-33.2830381" lon="149.0962744"/>
           <gpxx:rpt lat="-33.2833815" lon="149.0987206"/>
           <gpxx:rpt lat="-33.2835746" lon="149.0999866"/>




Any idea where start looking for this script? or how to search for it as I'm still abit 
new to the openstreetmap resources.


thanks
