Bad date in GPX on Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
in every new track in GPX file the tag <time> startes from date/time 1. 1. 
1970 0:00 instead of current date/time.
It happens on Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica, Android 1.5
VK

That's odd... Can you attach a sample GPX file to this issue please ? Thanks.

Thanks.

It seems that the GPS chip embedded into Samsung Galaxy Spica is unable to 
report timestamp information, see 
http://sportypal.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/samsung-galaxy-spica-users/ and 
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-lite/55888-gps-problem-spica.html

It requires to code a workaround to use the OS timestamp instead of the GPS 
chip one on these device. Shouldn't be too difficult.

I just fixed it by adding a setting to use phone clock instead of GPS clock. It 
will maybe have unexpected side effects on the timezone of the timestamps as 
the GPS timezone seems to be different than the device one, at least on the 
dev. emulator...

It will be available in the next release.
