Followup dumb question. If I am looking at the gpx file that is getting converted, how can I tell that it a point or polygon file
eg, I have this gpx file as a reference, and use this command to convert it to the shp file..
import arcpy
arcpy.GPXtoFeatures_conversion('c:\\GPX3\\testgpx2.gpx', 'c:\\GPX3\\testgpx2.shp')
--GPS File --
