Description

GPX files containing favorites cannot be imported.

Sample file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<gpx version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com http://www.topografix.com/gpx.xsd">
    <metadata>
        <name>Test Favorites</name>
    </metadata>
    <wpt lat="45.0" lon="7.0">
        <name>Test 1</name>
    </wpt>
</gpx>

The console shows the following reply:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 221 of the JSON data

Research direction

Reproduce the failure by importing the sample GPX file and inspect the browser console response showing the JSON.parse error. Trace the favorites import entry point to identify why this GPX input produces invalid JSON, then verify that the sample file imports successfully without the parsing error.
