Re: A couple of filtering problems with CSV

Gavin, thanx for the detailed report.

That may part of the problem - you're in the opposite hemispheres from
the bulk of our users (and developers!) so there may be some weirdness
there.

That's certainly not impossible. It's not obvious to me how a bounding
box that spans a hemi boundary should work but I can poll some other GPX
writers and see how they represent it.

By inspection, the GPX writer *should* be computing bounding boxes based
on the filtered set and not the source set, but a test case (a few
waypoints and the precise commands issued) would be most helpful.

The CSV parser isn't involved in reading GPX.

I'd really like to see the source and the commands it takes to trigger
this.  If you can trim it down to just a cache or two that's great.
