[Qgis-user] Creation of GPX file fails

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion.

I did the test and of course the gpx created is not good, with a list of 
error messages (not right values, like:
Error at file 
C:\[...]\xerces-c-3.1.1-x86-windows-vc-10.0\bin/newtiti.gpx, line 76, 
char 54
   Message: value '1730878.68283692' must be less than maxExclusive 
facet value '180.0'

If I start from an existing gpx file that passes the test (like created 
with dnrgarmin or mapsource) and try to upload it within Qgis, when I 
check the metadata of the layer property, the Layer Spatial Reference 
System is not correct
*+proj=longlat *+datum=WGS84 +no_defs

If I upload in Qgis the same data created by dnrgarmin but under the 
projected shapefile type, then the Layer Spatial Reference System is correct
*+proj=tmerc* +lat_0=0 +lon_0=173 +k=0.9996 +x_0=1600000 +y_0=10000000 
+ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

*It's the general same issue: how do I force Qgis when uploading or 
saving data in gpx file to use the correct Spatial reference system 
(+proj)?*

How do other users do? Because I don't see the point of this software if 
i cannot send my data from Qgis to my gps ...

Thank you
