Creating a GPX file
Answered
Hi!
Without any knowledge in this field I tried to create a gpx file by "hijacking" a file exported by locus. I cannot import it (yet) because Locus claims there are no points to be imported. Can anyone see what's wrong here?
Thank you!

Thank you very much!
This:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<wpt lat="44.487645" lon="-78.451904"><name>Anchor Bay Camp Ltd</name></wpt>
<wpt lat="46.170645" lon="-77.821407"><name>Antler's Kingfisher Lodge & Campgrounds</name></wpt>
</gpx>
Allows to Import the first Name but Fails for the second. As soon as I ented the part after <gpx, the Import won't even start :( What's wrong?
Thank you very much!

don't use "&"
don't use "&"
Is there a way to use special characters? I tried putting the names in "" but it didn't work.
Is there alternatively a list of forbidden characters? The list is way longer than 2 entries and I have no clue what else is in there...

Hi,
a GPX file is a "special" XML file.
The forbidden or special characters of such a file can be found here or here.
So & should be replaced with & in the GPX file.
