GPX File Format - GPS Exchange Data Explained
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open, XML-based file format designed for storing and sharing geospatial activity data. Originally created for GPS devices, it has evolved into the universal standard for outdoor navigation, fitness tracking, geocaching, and adventure travel, ensuring compatibility across devices and platforms.
What is a GPX File?
GPX files store geographic data - including waypoints, routes, and tracks - in a structured XML format that is both human-readable and easy for software applications to parse and validate. Whether you are planning a hike, mapping a bike ride, or logging a travel route, GPX provides a reliable, open standard for exchanging GPS information.
Key Features of the GPX Format
- XML-Based Structure: The GPX format uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language), enabling structured, consistent, and extensible data storage that is supported by many mapping and navigation applications.
- Types of GPS Data:
- Waypoints: Individual points of interest, such as landmarks, campsites, or checkpoints, with precise latitude and longitude.
- Routes: Ordered lists of waypoints that define a planned path from start to destination.
- Tracks: Detailed logs of movement over time, recording your actual travel path with multiple coordinate points.
- Wide Compatibility: GPX files are supported by major platforms and devices like Garmin, Strava, AllTrails, Google Earth, and numerous GIS and mapping applications.
GPX File Conversion and CAD Integration
Use Automapki Application to import, export, and convert GPX files seamlessly within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Automapki automatically processes coordinate system transformations and projects GPS data onto georeferenced DWG drawings, allowing you to integrate precise GPS location data into your CAD designs for enhanced real-world mapping and visualization.
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) File
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file format, originally created by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), is a widely used standard for storing and sharing geospatial information. KML files are essential for visualizing geographic data in applications like Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms.
Main Features of KML Files
- XML-Based Format: KML files use an easy-to-edit XML structure to define geographic features such as points, paths, polygons, and 3D models for interactive mapping projects.
- Broad Compatibility: KML files are fully supported across popular GIS and CAD applications, enabling seamless data sharing, visualization, and analysis across multiple platforms.
- Rich Media Support: Embed images, videos, links, and other multimedia elements inside KML placemarks and descriptions to create dynamic and informative maps.
