[Qgis-user] gpx files with wron scale in projects

[Agustin Lobo]

I agree. The current situation is that as gpx files do not
explicitly state the CRS, they may get the CRS of the
project at being loaded in qgis. So gpx files should always be opened as 
lon,lat wgs84 layers,
regardless of the project properties. Perhaps a warning message
should pup up at loading gpx files, reminding the user
that the crs of the gpx layer is lon,lat wgs84 and that he/she should 
consider
having "on the fly" reprojection selected.
