[2.19] GPX does not save speed information

[Maarten]

I did some further testing and am sure that something changed in the save algorithm.

There are two specs for GPX: 1.0 and 1.1. Routeconverter can save to either of them. With version 2.18.2, saving to either GPX 1.0 or GPX 1.1 results in the same: speed gets saved as in my last example, with a <nmea:speed> tag between <extentions> tags:

Code:

               <extensions>
                   <nmea:speed>6.75</nmea:speed>
               </extensions>

With version 2.19, speed gets saved in the 1.0 GPX as a regular <speed> tag without use of <extensions>:

Code:

<speed>6.75</speed>

But it does not get saved in the GPX 1.1.

This behaviour seems correct as the GPX 1.1 spec does not specify speed anymore (IMHO a stupid decision). So 2.19 now apparently uses the GPX 1.1 spec when yo usave to GPX 1.1.
In 2.18.2, saving to either GPX 1.0 or 1.1 gives the header for GPX 1.1:

Code:

<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" xmlns:nmea="http://trekbuddy.net/2009/01/gpx/nmea" xmlns:trp="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TripExtensions/v1" xmlns:gpxtrx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GpxExtensions/v3" xmlns:gpxtpx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrackPointExtension/v2" version="1.1" creator="Generated by Christian Pesch's RouteConverter. See http://www.routeconverter.com">

While saving in 2.19, saving to GPX 1.0 now gives a different header.

I guess I'll be saving to GPX 1.0 then. Speed information for me is very important.
