Ok converting the gpx file to a way.txt file I used the following syntax:

chris123 at ubuntu:~/Desktop$ gpsbabel -r -i gpx -f B_to_W.gpx -x 
transform -rte -o gpsdrive -F way3.txt

where B_to_W.gpx is the source file generated by EasyGPS 2.3.8 (ie: windows 
stuff) 

Merging way3.txt with gpsdrive's way.txt file created all the needed waypoint 
as defined by the gpx file and rendered them correctly, complete with 
assigned name. 

Last issue is to extract the route from the gpx file as this does not display. 
Any clues would be appreciated.

Best regards and thanks
