Sometimes, apps and websites will not support GPX routes, so if you run into a situation where an app can’t read a GPX route correctly from Footpath, you can try to export the route as a GPX track instead.
This is the best format to use when importing and exporting recorded GPS activity data. These points are grouped together into segments (when you pause and resume a GPS recording, it breaks the track into segments), so you could potentially have a route line with many breaks. Each of these points contains information about the GPS coordinate (latitude, longitude, and altitude) along with the precise timestamp at which the point was recorded. GPX TracksĪ GPX track stores a series of GPS points representing a recorded GPS activity. Generally, this is the best format for importing and exporting routes to and from Footpath unless your device or use case requires otherwise. A GPX route does not contain any timestamp information, so it is typically used for planning purposes.Ī GPX route cannot be broken up into multiple segments, so you can only have a single continous route line. GPX RoutesĪ GPX route stores a route as a series of coordinates, with latitude, longitude, and altitude information.
GPX can store three main types of data: routes, tracks, and waypoints. GPX files are the most common file format for sharing routes and GPS tracks between different devices, apps, and websites.
File types Overview of file types available for import and exportįootpath supports importing and exporting routes in a number of different file formats.
