[OSM-talk] KML to GPX conversion problem

[Elizabeth Dodd]

I have just obtained a new device which outputs a KML file which looks
like this
(selecting a single point)

<Folder>

conversion with gpsbabel provides
<wpt lat="-34.258748000" lon="146.472798000">
  <ele>153.900000</ele>
  <name>P585</name>

</wpt>

and way down the file
<trkpt lat="-34.258748000" lon="146.472798000">
  <ele>153.900000</ele>
</trkpt>


Now for those who have waded through that lot
I have waypoints with times and trackpoints without times

Has anyone already got a script (bash, python, perl, haskell) which
will give me trackpoints with times from the data (two consecutive sets
in the one xml file, thousands of lines long, as there is a fix each 10
sec)?
