Hi, I was not successful in converting this .gpx file to the Google Earth format:
Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<gpx version="1.1" creator="TrekBuddy 0.9.57" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" xmlns:rmc="urn:net:trekbuddy:1.0:nmea:rmc">
  <trk>
    <trkseg>
      <trkpt lat="47.469031000" lon="9.744794999">
        <ele>446.0</ele>
        <time>2007-08-03T07:42:47Z</time>
        <fix>3d</fix>
        <extensions>
          <rmc:course>29.9</rmc:course>
          <rmc:speed>3.2</rmc:speed>
        </extensions>
      </trkpt>
      <trkpt lat="47.470351999" lon="9.739409000">

        </extensions>
      </trkpt>
      <trkpt lat="47.471514999" lon="9.732970000">
        <ele>447.0</ele>
        <time>2007-08-03T07:44:56Z</time>
        <fix>3d</fix>
        <extensions>
          <rmc:course>281.1</rmc:course>
          <rmc:speed>8.0</rmc:speed>
        </extensions>
      </trkpt>
    </trkseg>
  </trk>
</gpx>

I used Gpsbabelgui and tried various options, but didn´t get any trackpoints in the kml file. What am I doing wrong?

    gpsbabel.exe -p "" -w -r -t -i gpx -f "C:\some\path\2007-08-03-07-39-02.gpx" -o kml -F "C:\some\path\2007-08-03-07-40-23.kml"

Your code I copied and saved in GPX format. I used GPSBabel and convert to kml. No problem.
