Error reading GPX track files in Basecamp

Hello,

Basecamp give me a couple of errors when trying to read GPX track files.

After analyzing the GPX files with 'XML validator' (http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/) some errors where found.

For example:
Somewhere in a <ele> tag there was a timestamp
Somewhere in a <time> tag there was an elevation value

Using a Dakota 20 FW: 3.80.
Basecamp 3.1.3

I attached some recorded tracklogs.

A short update:

After running the files through gpsbabel (http://www.gpsbabel.org/), convert from GPX to GPX, they are okee.

GPS Validator gives a 'The Document is valid.' message and Basecamp does not give any error.

The attached file is the same as the first attached file into the previous post, but now run through gpsbabel.

XML is invalid

Open the file in http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/

You will notice that the elevation field has the date/time in it! which makes it an invalid XML file.

It is hard to stomach, but they still keep releasing devices that can't write GPX correctly.

I forwarded this issue to the device team and they report that it will be fixed in the next firmware release of the Dakota.
