GPX Files:
What They Are and Where to Get One
What is a GPX file?
GPX is short for GPS Exchange Format. It's an XML file holding a list of points, each with latitude and longitude and usually a timestamp and elevation. Garmin drafted it in 2002 so devices from different makers could swap data, and it has been the common format since. Strava, Komoot, Garmin Connect, AllTrails and just about every watch or bike computer can export one.
A GPX file can hold three kinds of things: waypoints (single points), routes (planned paths) and tracks (recorded paths). Most exports are tracks. The viewer reads all three and draws whatever lines it finds.
Where do I get a GPX file?
Strava: open the activity, click the three dots, Export GPX. Garmin Connect: activity page, gear icon, Export to GPX. Komoot: open the tour, Export, pick GPX. AllTrails: trail page, Download route, GPX. Phone tracking apps have something similar in the activity menu.
If all you have is a KML or KMZ from Google Earth, use the KML viewer instead, or run the file through the KML to GPX converter first. Both are linked in the footer.
Animate the GPX file as a 3D map video in the AvoMap editor
The viewer shows you the outline. The AvoMap editor puts the same track on satellite terrain, uses the elevation in your file so the route actually climbs, flies a camera along it and exports an MP4 in up to 4K.
The editor is free to use. You pay per exported video.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GPX viewer free?
Yes. Viewing a file, the stats and the 3D preview cost nothing. AvoMap charges for exported videos, and that pays for the free tools.
Does my GPX file get uploaded?
The file is read in your browser. When you open the 3D preview, the route extracted from it is sent to AvoMap to build that preview. The original file stays on your computer.
Do I need a GPX viewer app for Android, Mac or Windows?
No. This page is the viewer, and it runs in the browser you already have on Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux. Nothing to install and nothing to update.
Can I edit the GPX file here?
Not yet. This page reads and shows the file. For trimming or joining tracks you still need a GPX editor.
Which apps' GPX files work?
Anything that writes standard GPX: Strava, Garmin, Komoot, AllTrails, Wahoo, Suunto, Coros, Gaia GPS. If a file fails, it's usually not GPX at all, or it's a zipped one. Unzip it and try again.
Does the viewer show elevation?
Not on this page. The elevation in your file is kept and used in the 3D preview, where the route climbs and drops over real terrain.
Can I turn the track into a video?
Yes. Open 3D Preview takes you into the AvoMap editor with your track loaded. Style it, pick a camera path and export an MP4 in up to 4K.
Can I convert GPX to KML here?
Not on this page. The GPX to KML and GPX to KMZ converters in the footer do that, free and in the browser.
