Thank you for the info.

I removed _GMT v0.38.0_ and added _GMT.jl#master_ which resulted in _GMT v0.38.0 `https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git#master`_ in my status.

On _GMT v0.38.0_ I was receiving:

```julia
julia> GMT.Gdal.GDALGetDriverCount()
0

julia> GMT.Gdal.OGRGetDriverCount()
0

julia> getdriver("gpx")
NULL Driver

```

On _GMT v0.38.0 `https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl.git#master`_ I am receiving:

```julia
julia> GMT.Gdal.GDALGetDriverCount()
215

julia> GMT.Gdal.OGRGetDriverCount()
80

julia> getdriver("gpx")
Driver: GPX/GPX

```

Among impressive list of supported formats _ogr2ogr --formats_ brings:

`GPX -vector- (rw+v): GPX`

so I guess GPX is supported.

However, when  
`data = gmtread("path/to/gpx", ogr=true)`  
I still see  
`Vector{GMTdataset} with 0 segments`  
and it is not possible to plot it due to  
`ERROR: Input has zero segments where it can't be.`

I did some additional tests, however, I was not able to overcome the limit of datetime line. If you find it suitable, I think that it might be better if you take a look at the underling data by yourself. Below please find the links to gpx and the same data in geojson. Should I be of any help please let me know.
