What is a GPX File?

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based file format for storing GPS data including waypoints, routes, and tracks. It's the standard format used by GPS devices, fitness trackers, and mapping applications to share location data.

GPX files are widely used for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, running, and geocaching. They allow you to record your journey, share routes with others, analyze performance, and plan future trips.

Common uses of GPX files:

• Recording GPS tracks from hiking, cycling, or running activities
• Sharing routes and waypoints with other outdoor enthusiasts
• Analyzing workout performance and elevation profiles
• Planning routes for future trips and adventures
• Geocaching and treasure hunting activities
• Importing/exporting data between different GPS devices and apps

GPX File Structure

A GPX file contains three main types of data:

• Waypoints: Single points of interest with coordinates (latitude, longitude, elevation)
• Routes: Planned paths consisting of waypoints in sequence
• Tracks: Recorded paths with timestamped track points showing your actual journey

Each element can include additional information like name, description, timestamp, elevation, and metadata.

Tips for Working with GPX Files

Best practices:

• Always backup original GPX files before editing

• Include elevation data for accurate profile analysis
• Remove unnecessary track points to reduce file size
• Add timestamps for time-based analysis and replay
• Test edited files in your target application before field use
