GPX 1.1
GPS Exchange Format
Waypoints, routes and tracks exported by GPS devices, sports watches and mapping apps.
About
GPX is the common exchange format for GPS data: Garmin, Strava, Komoot, OsmAnd and most mapping tools read and write it.
Good to know
- Vendor extensions (for example Garmin TrackPointExtension) live in their own namespaces inside <extensions> and are accepted without being checked.
