Hidden waypoints included in GPX with bogus coordinates #206

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Query so you get a cache with additional waypoints
2. Hidden waypoints (ones for which coordinates are not visible by the public)
get assigned "magic numbers" (they should be set to zero, and not be written to 
GPX at all)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Hidden waypoints get included into GPX files, and have coordinates identical to 
something found before (main cache location or another waypoint)

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
This may be a result caused by one of the changes made to gc.com servers in the 
past 3 weeks.

It was a bit risky to rely on the ishidden="true" property to detect hidden 
(coordinate-less) waypoints.
The change made to the trunk in rev. 867 is supposed to fix this (not detecting 
a valid coordinate will "hide" the waypoint even if it wasn't "hidden" in the 
first place).

Hopefully fixed in 3.14.5 (and not broken again by recent site updates)
