Selon "Pouliot, Christopher (DNR)" <Christopher.Pouliot at state.mn.us>:

There are elements in http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_gpx.html

Bascially, you need to create different layers for each geometry types you want
to write. And you need to create (and populate them) in the order described :
waypoints, routes and tracks
