What is a .gpx file?

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML schema for GPS data, storing waypoints, routes, and tracks with coordinates, elevation, and timestamps. It is the standard interchange format for GPS devices and fitness and navigation apps. Track points capture recorded movement over time.

How to use this file

Use an example GPX file to test GPS track parsing, elevation and timestamp handling, and tools that import routes or visualize recorded activity.
