S&T reads the GPX files as pins rather than tracks or roads. If I use the same GPX and import it into Magellan, it shows them as tracks on the map. I need S&T to use the GPX file as a new road or whatever it can deal with to make it navigable. Then I can export a GPX route that I can import into the TomTom as a ITN file.

I don't know if S&T will import tracks and routes from GPX at all.  But if all you need is tracks converted to waypoints (or whatever) use our transform filter http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/filter_transform.html to change them.  In the GUI, this is under Filters->Miscellaneous->transform.   Even if it won't read tracks, you can decompose it to a series of points in that way.  You'll lose the connections as it won't have a concept of sequence, but if that's all it'll do, that's what you have.

 
I know this sounds like a MS problem and not a GPSbabelGui issue, and it probably is. But I was just hoping you guys could figure something out. THanks.

I have a ATV, there are no tracks/trails on my TomTom. I do have GPX files of these Trails. If I can add them to MS S&T, I can export a route to a GPX and change it with GPSbabelGUI to an ITN, and upload it to the TomTom. The missing step is adding a GPX (or any other format MS S&T understands) to the Map Template so a route can be created. Is that something you guys can help with? Thanks.

I don't understand your question. If you have GPX files and you want GPX files, that should be pretty simple, right?  Is it that S&T can't read the GPX files you have?
