I downloaded a GPX file from a tourism web site. However, when I tried to import this file to Google Earth ouor Garmin's Basecamp, they both complained that the file format was wrong. I opened the GPX file and noticed that the latitude and longitude numbers where quite high : an exemple is for instance : <rtept lat="6923211.8424401991" lon="367940.01590696711">

I looked at the file header and noticed that there was some kind of translation rule :

<extensions>
    ....
    <ogr:XW84>-1.56894</ogr:XW84>
    <ogr:YW84>49.322</ogr:YW84>
    <ogr:XL93>367940.01591</ogr:XL93>
    <ogr:YL93>6923211.8424399998</ogr:YL93>
  </extensions>

I think that this says that a latitude of 6923211.8424399998 should correspond to 49.322

Can somebody confirm that ? Do you know if there is any tool to correct such format ?

Here's a link to the complete file.

Thanks in advance
