This error may be caused by the fact that the trace files often contain inside track points.
Geosat Suite accepts files .gpx that contain ONLY TRACKS (so only the path) or ONLY contact  (Points / waypoints)
 
To split the file type you can do this;
 
- Open the file (kmz, kml, gpx or gdb) with Google Earth
- On the left menu, expand the file displaying the components
   (Eg TRACKS = Points + PATH)
 
- Eliminate Points
- Rename the PATH by entering the name of the track
 
- Save the resulting file format .KML (Save as)
- Convert the file to GPX using GPS Babel (and let selected
   "tracks") to obtain for  example TRACKS.gpx
 
- Reload the original file with Google Earth and do the same with the POINTS ( delete your PATH and leave the waypoints)
 
- Save the resulting file format. KML (Save as)
- Convert the file to GPX using GPS Babel (let selected
   "tracks") to obtain for example WAYPOINTS.gpx
 
- The two files and WAYPOINTS.gpx TRACKS.gpx can now be transferred into the Geosat Through, with no error messages.
