Yeah, I just tried that on the Paris day 3 file, its one track with 4
segments and GE shows them all fine.

I use GPX editor to merge the 4 tracks with a ingle segment each into a
single track with 4 segents and it opens in GE perfectly.

Bug description:
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:

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.
