[Bug 438404] [NEW] Multiple tracks in GPX should be one track with multiple segments instead

 

Public bug reported:

I have a GT-200, I have 0.2.92 of this program installed and I am having
problems viewing multipart tracks and way points in Version
5.1.3506.3999 (beta) of the Linux Google Earth.

When I view the GPX file with a text editor it has multiple tracks but
GE will only display the first track or waypoint. It knows they are
there, it just will not show them to me.

To get around the problem I can seperate the different tracks into
multiple files or delete the lines that make it a multipart so the GPX
file is a single track. The later is my preferred workaround as I down
the track at the end of each day and just want one track of the entire
day.

To see what I mean I have uploaded the original file and the altered
file of Day 3 in Paris here:

http://tux.com.au/files/Paris_Day_3.gpx

If I get the www.gpsvisualizer.com web site to convert the GPX file to a
GE kmz file it all works perfectly. All tracks and all waypoints are
shown in GE.
