Hi,

Should it really be possible to upload waypoints through gpx?  I had
a try with OziExplorer waypoint file converted to gpx and it does 
not get uploaded. The file is here, is there something wrong with it?
I tried even to change "ele" to "alt" because the error message says:
0 points parsed ok. Do they all have lat,lng,alt,timestamp?

I checked that gpx files converted from OziExplorer track log files
have also "ele" but they are getting uploaded OK.
