Even when it does work, it's still more hassle than it's worth imho.
Also gpsbabel is proving to be too much of a hassle to anonymise files as well,
so I've decided to bite the bullet and just code my own java or shell script to
parse gpx files, strip out everything except time, lat, lon, HDOP/VDOP and
elevation.
Then reset the timestamps to epoch, rather than randomising them which seems to
be a bit crude and doesn't gain much.
Also I've been pondering about the time difference between GPS points and
ranomising it a little to be useful if police ever started to use the
information in GPX files to charge you with a speeding offense and all the
hassle of taking it to court to beat it and what not.
For those of you that claim you never speed, what about those pesky school
zones without flashing lights that you can't tell the times they are in force
until you are virtually on top of them and have to sit and think about if the
time actually applies at this point in time and slamming on your breaks if it
does to prevent yourself from going in excess of the speed limit.
Even if you do reset the timestamps it may be possible for the police to find
out when you went through the school zone even if the clock on your dash board
says the school zone speed doesn't apply because it's inaccurately set.
Although if the GPX files are uploaded through a shared account this would
reduce the risk of this sort of problem.
