Me too

Just tried to import a gpx file created from PGC and I get "cannot parse gpx file as Gpx1.1:  could not parse XML "

The problem is the same as a posted in another thread. I tested the c:geo import and only the tags has to be corrected. the scheme and email is not nessecery to change for c:geo

Just tested it and found a couple of problems with the GPX file.
The first is that they are not valid XML
GSAK is inserts  the line below in the xsi:schemaLocation to make it valid XML
http://www.gsak.net/xmlv1/6 http://www.gsak.net/xmlv1/6/gsak.xsd

The first and probably irrelevant  problem is that the email is not valid the gpx.xsd does not allow - in the domain name. It is hard to fix and can probably be ignored.

The other problem that is relevant and likely the source of the problem with c:geo from the post below is that some tags are incorrect
pgc generates for example
<gsak:gsak:County>Luleå</gsak:gsak:County>
and the correct GSAK one is
<gsak:County>Luleå</gsak:County>
The same proble  on
<gsak:gsak:LastGpxDate>2015-09-19 23:10:16</gsak:gsak:LastGpxDate>

Another error is
<gsak:IsPremium>'0'</gsak:IsPremium>
and GSAK
 <gsak:FavPoints>0</gsak:FavPoints>

The forth and last tag that pgc creates
<gsak:FavPoints>0</gsak:FavPoints> is correct

Yes, I do have the same problem.

OK, at least opening the GPX file in GSAK and exporting again into GPX helps as workaround. After this C:GEO accepts the GPX for import

Same error for me!

I had to generate the GPX in PGC, import it to GSAK, export it to a GPX file and import it to c:geo for it to work.

Sorry for the long time to respons and fixing this. We were aware of our faulty implementation of http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=6836/possible-to-add-gsak-favpoints-to-created-gpx , but we weren't aware of that the GPX files failed to import in c:geo.

A fix was just released. We have not tested it yet, mostly because I don't have c:geo installed currently. It would be nice if someone could confirm that it now works.

Did not try in c:geo bur a i generated a gpx and it still has the same problem in xml validation. The incorecct line below is an example
<gsak:gsak:County>Motala</gsak:gsak:County>

You are correct. The new code was released, but the process wasn't restarted. It has been killed now, and will spawn again in a few minutes (<= 15 minutes).

EDIT: The new process has been spawned.

An import test in c:geo worked
