Accented or International Characters

In 3.2.7, if a GPX route file contains accented characters (e.g. àâéèéçô), the route can not load.

Hi;

OruxMaps works fine with those characters; may be an invalid xml character (&, <, >, ...)

& must ber replaced with &amp;
< with &lt
...

or use <![CDATA[ --any character-- ]]>

I'm using directions generated by Google Maps and gMaptoGPX to generate the GPX file ... and I've isolated the problem to the accented characters in the DESC and CMT entries.

Code:


  <rte>
      <name>route0</name>
      <cmt>Rue du Stade to Vallères</cmt>
      <desc>Rue du Stade to Vallères</desc>
...
      <rtept lat="47.34272" lon="0.50813">
        <name>GRTP-025</name>
        <cmt>Continue straight onto Les Hucaudières</cmt>
        <desc>Continue straight onto Les Hucaudières</desc>
...


So currently, I'm simply using Notepad to replace all the accented characters... and then dropping the GPX file onto firefox as a final check (since firefox will show me the offending line).

Hi;

Please, could you send me one of those files?

I can load gpx with different accented characters without problems.
