Well I don't very often need to - it's only on the rare occassions
that it decides to stick in a point a few hundred miles out of place
that I worry about it.

In that case it is usually odd points and I fix them manually by
editing the GPX file in a text editor and removing them ;-)

I'm not aware of any automated filters that will handle that kind
of cleanup anyway.
