read_gpx: Read a .gpx file into a data.frame

In gpx: Process GPX Files into R Data Structures

Description

Read a .gpx file into a list of data.frames, one each for tracks, routes and waypoints.

The named element 'tracks' is a named list of tracks present in the file. It will always contain columns for Elevation, Time, Latitude, Longitude, and Segment ID.

The named element 'routes' is an unnamed list of routes present in the file. It will always contain columns for Elevation, Time, Latitude, and Longitude.
