Hi,
I sent an email to andy@hexten.net about a 10 days ago but didn't get
a reply. Hopefully this'll get through.
I've used Geo::Gpx for quite a while and it works great for most
things. The only major issue I've found is that GPX files generated
with Geo::Gpx 0.26 usually won't load into Garmin Mapsource. The reason
for this is that Mapsource is very strict about the ordering of the
various sections. I've modified Geo::Gpx to do three things:
1. Generate Mapsource-loadable GPX files
2. Support GPX extensions (partial)
The modified code stores the extension tags verbatim while the
original code stored the innermost nested value.
See, e.g. bug 101102
<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=101102> and maybe
bug 71990 <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=71990>
3. Not collapse whitespace in "name" and "desc" attributes.

I've attached the patch to this email. Let me know what you think.
