I have been trying to upload traces to site about my hometown but was hitting persistent error below.

"failed to import. Here's the error:

Generic XML parse error
XML parser at line 6 column 24
"

Could not figure out why...so today to make sure I went to get a new set of data but while importing the same error was given.

Ok now is the time to take a look at the data. This is from the original file.

Not really brain teaser there...once I eliminated the Finnish curiosities "ä" from the file all was well.

The reason for this is the default setting on the Nokia Sports Tracker I have been using. Default user in Finnish language is "Matti Meikäläinen" which I hadn't changed before this.
