[Qgis-user] creation of .gpx is not straightforward

[Andre Joost]

+1 from me. Output CRS should be set to EPSG:4326 by default as well.

I think this could be an easy way to start writing an own plugin, but I 
currently wait for the next QGIS version for that. There were some 
greater changes announced for the plugin API (and I don't have any 
knowledge in python programming yet).

Greetings,
André Joost
