Course value isn't written to GPX file.

[ArneKoeckeritz]

I have a class in my Android app which is writing a GPX file out of the location stream from the device location sensor. And there is a counterpart class which is reading the GPX file and creates a location stream out of it.

public final void onLocationChanged(final Location pLocation)
{
	final WayPoint.Builder wayPointBuilder = WayPoint.builder();
	wayPointBuilder.time(pLocation.getTime());
	wayPointBuilder.ele(pLocation.getAltitude());
	wayPointBuilder.speed(pLocation.getSpeed());
	wayPointBuilder.pdop((double) pLocation.getAccuracy());
	wayPointBuilder.course(pLocation.getBearing());
	wayPointBuilder.lat(pLocation.getLatitude());
	wayPointBuilder.lon(pLocation.getLongitude());

	mSegmentBuilder.addPoint(wayPointBuilder.build());
}

But there is a problem. The course data is not written into the GPX file which looks like a bug.
Anything i can contribute ?

The JPX library allows you to read/write GPX files in version 1.0 and 1.1. I'm using the same data structures for both version. But the course value is only read/written in version 1.0. If you are using the default writer, you are writing the GPX file in version 1.1, which doesn't write the course value.

I might add an implementation note to the Javadoc.
