Hi. Sorry for not replying sooner.

Yes, this is a gray area. Any confusion would certainly be dispelled
once a user reads the package description, but looking at a list of
package names some (at least myself) would initially assume that this
package manipulates GPS track data.

Feel free to close this bug if you feel that renaming this would be more
trouble than it's worth.

Thanks
