Sorry about not having read the doc, I'm probably too used to import shape files with readOGR() and did not realize that GPX files would have different options.
test <- readOGR(dsn="/media/TRANSCEND/MONTSENY2008/MONTSENY_GEODATA/FloraExotica2009/AilantMSY09R.gpx",layer="waypoints") works fine and the table is correct. I think that dataset_options="GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS=YES" at writing did the job. So no problem at all with writing/reading GPX files in R through rgdal I would add a line to the help page reminding the user that coordinates must be geographic in GPX files (thus the user must eventually unproject before writeOGR() ). Thanks!
