I think you can get away with the minimal header details ( I went to have alook at the header of one of my files, but it looks like Mapsource( which I use to clean up the files prior to upload) seems to insert a whole pile of extra dat, so they aren't that great as an example. I had a really good example file (bare bones GPX file that uploaded OK) but I can't locate it at hte moment. > 2: Is the date and time stamp needed? I presume not.
