GPX — Standalone Waypoints Only

Five `wpt` elements for the towns of the territory, with names, symbols and descriptions but no track or route. It is the GPX equivalent of a point layer, and the third of the three top-level GPX content types.

Testing contract

Expected to pass

Scenario: Import the file and compare the points with the town features in the master GeoJSON.
Expected result: Five waypoints load with their names and symbols; coordinates match the master territory towns to six decimal places.

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.

How to use this file for testing

“GPX — Standalone Waypoints Only” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Geospatial, Conversion testing, Data import. GeoJSON, GPX, and KML files with points, lines, polygons, and tracks — for testing map tools, route parsers, and geo importers.

Documented properties for this file: seed 20260807 · UTF-8 · LF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Geospatial fixtures publish one invented territory across formats, with the coordinate reference system and feature counts documented in specs. Convert or reproject and diff against the twin in the same group; edge-case geometries state exactly which assumption they are built to break.

Code examples

import gpxpy  # pip install gpxpy

with open("gpx-waypoints.gpx") as f:
    gpx = gpxpy.parse(f)
print(sum(len(t.segments) for t in gpx.tracks), "segments")
