Bug: Geotour GPX files are invalid

[+Bananeweizen]

The script producing the Geotour GPX files is faulty. Those files are not syntactically correct XML files, and therefore fail to load on all devices using an actual XML parser instead of simple text pattern matching.

 

Example: Download https://www.geocaching.com/play/geotours/paderborner-land/gpx?geotourId=94 and verify it in any XML aware tool (even Notepad++ with the "XML Tools" plugin is sufficient). At least these 2 changes seem necessary to make the file correct XML:

Replace "xmlns:creator" by "creator"

Replace "xmlns:schemaLocation" by "xsi:schemaLocation"

 

As this is not the first time that GPX files from Groundspeak are invalid, you may want to consider adding unit tests to your script to verify that this is in fact valid XML.
