GPX Viewer

Field guide: GPX Viewer

GPX is the universal donor of GPS data — every watch, handheld, drone log and fitness app exports it — and the universal question is the same: what does this track actually look like? Open or paste the file and tracks (trk), routes (rte) and waypoints (wpt) render immediately, with the segment structure preserved and waypoint names/elevations in the attribute table. Everything parses locally; your movement data never uploads.

That last point deserves emphasis: a GPX file is a diary of where you were, when — exactly the data class to keep off random converter sites. From here it exports to GeoJSON (for web maps and analysis), KML (for Google Earth), CSV (every trackpoint as a row), or a standalone interactive HTML map for sharing a hike or ride with people who just want to see it on a real map.

Field tips

• Strava, Garmin Connect and most apps export GPX from the activity's menu — look for 'Export Original' to keep full point density.
• Multiple trksegs in one track are usually GPS-signal gaps (tunnels, canyons) — the viewer keeps them as separate lines so the gaps stay honest.
• For privacy before sharing, trim the first/last few hundred meters near home — the CSV export makes deleting those rows easy, then re-import.

Records are stored only in this browser (localStorage) — export regularly. This tool aids field documentation; it does not replace your agency's official inspection procedures or engineering judgment.
