About the GPX format
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based format for storing GPS data including waypoints, routes, and tracks. It is the de-facto standard for sharing GPS recordings from devices like Garmin, Suunto, and smartphones. GPX is natively supported by Google Earth, Strava, Komoot, Garmin Connect, and virtually every GPS application. A GPX file can contain three types of data: waypoints (individual points of interest), routes (ordered lists of waypoints for navigation), and tracks (continuous GPS recordings with timestamps). GDAL reads and writes GPX natively.

Frequently asked questions
Q.Does it show tracks, routes, and waypoints?
Yes. All three GPX layer types are rendered on the map — tracks as lines, routes as paths, and waypoints as points.
Q.Can I view elevation data?
Elevation data stored in the GPX is preserved but not displayed on the 2D map preview. To analyse elevation profiles, convert to GeoJSON and open in a tool like Kepler.gl.
Q.Can I convert GPX to GeoJSON or Shapefile?
Yes. After the preview loads, select your output format (GeoJSON, Shapefile, KML, GeoPackage, etc.) and click Convert.
Q.Is this compatible with Garmin and Strava GPX exports?
Yes. GPX files exported from Garmin Connect, Strava, Komoot, Suunto, Wahoo, and standard GPS devices are all supported.
