So, bottom line: We all agree that the UI element for a similar thing is called "GPX files..." under "Configure map" and "Tracks" under "My Places", especially as My Places > Tracks > does allow manipulating files whereas Configure map > GPX files... > does not.
We all agree "GPX files..." should be renamed "Tracks..." Also we all agree that the mini slider next to "GPX files..." under "Configure map" is valuable and must not be removed or replaced. Where we do not agree, is whether the special flat representation of tracks under Configure map > GPX files... shall stay as is or be replaced by the UX of My Places > Tracks > . We found out that today the number of taps is the same if only a single track is added to the screen. We also stated that today measured in number of taps the method Configure map > GPX files... is a little faster if users chose multiple tracks to display at the same time. But for tracks in the same (sub-folder the difference is only one single tap independent of how many tracks you select and/or unselect in the same (sub-)folder: at My Places > Tracks > just tap the map icon in the middle of the bottom bar. It will replace all the track icons left to the track file names by select boxes. You can then select and unselect as many as you want in the current (sub-)folder by a single tap. So, Configure map > GPX files... will only be faster by more than a single tap, if the tracks to select and/or unselect are in different (sub-)folders. But if users display multiple tracks at the same time, which is already a rare use case compared to displaying single tracks only, and they manage those tracks to be displayed together in multiple (sub-)folders, how likely is it that these users have only very few folders and tracks, so that they will not get lost at scrolling the special flat file representation under Configure map > GPX files...? Close to 0%. I would not look at keeping a neglectable goodie for close to 0%. I would instead try to make the app simpler and easier to comprehend, to the advantage of the majority of users. That would mean replacing the special "Show GPX data" flat pane by the same page that can also be reached via My Places > Tracks >.
