How to Convert ZWCAD to GPX❓
With our clear 3-step process, exporting ZWCAD drawings to GPX is smooth, precise, and repeatable every single time:
📥 Install Automapki Application
Download and install Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmExportMap command needed to export GPX maps directly from ZWCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.
▶️ Run GPX Export Command
Open your ZWCAD editor, type AmExportMap in the command line, or click Export Map in the Automapki ribbon. Select the DWG entities you want to export and confirm the selection.
↪️ Export ZWCAD Entities to GPX Format
In the save dialog, choose your output GPX file (*.gpx) and click Save. Automapki converts the selected ZWCAD entities to GPX format, preserving coordinate reference system data for accurate placement in GIS applications.

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.
