I have a usability question. It seems strange to me that I have to go to the GPS Plugin to open GPX files. These are data files just like any other format, and I'd suggest that these should be handled like any other layer. The only functionality that really needs to exist in the GPS plugin itself is the ability to send/receive GPS data and babel conversion. Many mapping applications now use GPX for storage and these files may never touch a GPS. I guess what I'm suggesting is that GPX files should be able to be loaded by the "Add A Vector Layer" command. It seems that it is harder than it really needs to be to open a GPX file. Cheers Gav
