What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Please include the relevant parts of your command line, if applicable.
Don't send your password though!]
1. Create GPX file
2. Load onto Garmin Oregon x00
3. Find lots of „ ’ stuff shown verbatim instead of their proper 
representation

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
[If possible, include the last ~10--20 lines of verbose output.]
- I'd be happy to have readable text, without bells and whistles.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
[Did you check you're using the latest version?]
- 3.16.5
(Remark: 3.17.7 seems to behave more nicely.)

Please provide any additional information below.
- Of course that's merely a matter of personal preference, but currently HTML 
encodings are somewhat suboptimal. I understand that this is in part due to 
Ruby 1.8 support (without encodings support), and may go away sooner or later...

What's the general opinion on this? (Obviously depends on how you use GPX 
files...)

Hm, someone (else) has starred this issue. Waiting for two more.

Although I have a gut feeling that this issue needs revisiting after making the 
final move to Ruby 1.9, I have committed the patches to trunk for now, with the 
general understanding that readability will be improved even if there are no 
guillemots etc. any longer.
There are GPSr units around which don't get firmware upgrades anymore, and will 
profit from less "&xxx;" HTML entities showing up on the small screen.

Rolled out both in devel and stable releases. Closing.
