The version I have installed (from the android market) generates kml
file tracks that are not valid. It should look like:
<coordinates>
-1.3629001379013062, 51.83917701244354, 148.0
-1.3629001379013062, 51.83907508850098, 138.0
-1.3630181550979614, 51.83890342712402, 139.0
-1.3630342483520508, 51.83881223201752, 144.0
.
.
.

But BTC mapper produces:
<coordinates>
51.83917701244354,
-1.3629001379013062,
148.0,
51.83907508850098,
-1.3629001379013062,
138.0,
51.83890342712402,
-1.3630181550979614,
139.0,
51.83881223201752,
-1.3630342483520508,
144.0,
.
.
.

Note that the lat and lon are the wrong way round, and there is a
comma after the elevation (there shouldn't be). I managed to mangle my
track to the right format, convert to GPX using GPSbabel, and load it
into JOSM to add my work, but the resulting file still won't upload to
OSM because it has no timestamps. It's also missing HDOP, which would
be useful.
