Adding shell=True to .call() or .run() generates the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/phil/Python/waypoints.py", line 6, in <module>
     subprocess.run("ls", "/home/phil/Downloads/*.gpx", shell=True)
   File "/usr/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 488, in run
     with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:
   File "/usr/lib/python3.7/subprocess.py", line 702, in __init__
     raise TypeError("bufsize must be an integer")
TypeError: bufsize must be an integer

Anyway, you've given me something to think about, I'll experiment further.
