gpx.studio is a free online GPX viewer and editor which allows to:

Gpx Viewer With Drive To Computer

  • visualize multiple traces in different colors and aided by many different maps (cycling, hiking, satellite, Strava heatmap overlay, etc)
  • edit traces by adding, inserting, moving or deleting track points
  • reverse traces
  • add timestamps to a trace
  • view, add, edit and remove waypoints
  • reduce the number of track points
  • automatically add elevation data to traces if missing
  • merge multiple traces, extending time, heart rate, cadence, power and temperature data where needed
  • extract segments from traces and perform any other action while maintaining the segments' structure within files
  • save the result on your computer or to your Google Drive™ to get a shareable link and embedding code

Bug fix Version 1.1.0.0 - Bug fix Features 1).gpx files viewer 2) Gps navigation 3) Track your route on map 4) Follow me on map 5) Replay a route previously stored 6) Save the route in your device 7) Import/export a local file in Documents folder 8) Car tracks gps / Cycle tracks gps / Running tracks gps 9) Motion data 10) Traffic map layer 11. I just found an answer to another question - how to delete a route that was used for testing. I found this on Only registered and activated users can see links. 'Sometimes after deleting gpx tracks, waypoints, favourites etc. They are still displayed on the OsmAnd map, if this happens forcing the App. To stop and then re-starting usually clears these items' and it does work.

It is a one-person side project created after messing with GPX files for some time. The project source code is publicly available on GitHub. Follow us on Facebook to be notified about updates of the tool.

Mapbox Community 🤝

Mapbox is the company providing some of the beautiful maps on this website. We also rely on their services to retrieve routes between points you add or move, to add precise elevation data to the traces and to take you to the right location when you type in the search bar.
They created a program called Mapbox Community to support non-profits, educational institutions, and positive-impact organizations (see the official page where they showcase some of their collaborations). We are very lucky to have joined this program and to benefit from a great discount on all API rates. Thanks to them, funding this project only through donations should be sustainable in the long term.
I am (and all users of the website can be) very grateful for their support and availability.

Translation 🗣️

The website is translated by volunteers on a collaborative translation platform. You can help complete and improve the translations by joining the Crowdin project. Get in touch on Facebook, by email or on GitHub if you would like to start the translation in a new language. Apart from a good understanding of gpx.studio, some basic knowledge of HTML can be useful. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Each time you add or move a track point, we make a request to Mapbox Directions API to retrieve a route on the road network. In addition, we request Mapbox Terrain-RGB tiles to add precise elevation data to the new track points.
Unfortunately this is not free even with Mapbox's support (see Mapbox Community above). Other billable operations include map loads and geocoding requests (looking for a place in the search bar).
So if you like the tool and use it frequently, please consider making even a small donation so that this website can stay free to use and ad-free. Thanks for your support!
The dialog and the User Guide should answer most questions about the functionalities, but feel free to ask for help, report any issues or send suggestions on the Facebook page or by email at contact.gpxstudio@gmail.com.
For developers, the Github repository is also a good place to report issues or share ideas.

  1. Click on .
  2. Enter the average speed.
  3. Select the start time.
  4. Click on .
If the GPX file has no timestamps, a constant speed is applied to the whole GPX file by default. You can check the box Experimental to generate timestamps which make the speed vary depending on the slope.
If the GPX file already has timestamps, they will be shifted and compressed to match the chosen speed and start time.
  1. Click on .
  2. Change the start time.

  1. Below the bottom panel, select the tab of the first GPX file you want to merge.
  2. Click on (available only when more than two files are open).
  3. Click on the tab of the second GPX file to merge. The track points of the second GPX file will come after those of the first GPX file.
If you want to merge all open GPX files at once:
  1. Below the bottom panel, put the tabs in the order you want them to appear in the merged GPX file.
  2. Click on .
  3. Check the box Merge all traces.
  4. Click on to download the files on your computer or on to save it in the cloud.
When merging multiple GPX files: missing time, temperature, heartrate, cadence or power data will be automatically extended with the average value across merged files. If some GPX files contains timestamps, it is ensured that the timestamps of the merged file are strictly increasing (the timestamps of some files are shifted if necessary).
Click on (available only if the file has more than one track segment). If the GPX file contains waypoints (points of interest), they are kept in the files for which the traces pass closest.
Click on to duplicate a GPX file.
  1. Click on .
  2. Click on the color to open the color picker.
  3. Move the slider to change the opacity.

You are very welcome to display traces on your website with gpx.studio. There are two ways to do it: the first one with files stored on a server and the second one with Google Drive.
  • File URL: Add the link to the file in the urls attribute of the state parameter of the query string. Make sure to use https, to encode any special characters and that gpx.studio is allowed to request the files, otherwise the requests will be blocked by the CORS policy.
  • Google Drive: Just save the files to your Google Drive when exporting and copy the code provided! If you want to display files that you already have on your Google Drive, add the ID of the file in the ids attribute of the state parameter of the query string and make sure they are available to all users with the link.

Choose the map shown by default with the parameter source among the following values:

  • outdoors: Mapbox Outdoors
  • satellite: Mapbox Satellite
  • osm: OpenStreetMap
  • otm: OpenTopoMap
  • ohm: OpenHikingMap
  • cosm: CyclOSM
  • ign: IGN (FR)

To use Mapbox maps, you need to specify the token parameter with a valid Mapbox token.

You can optionally add parameters to the source URL: imperial to get data in miles and feet, running to display the pace in minutes by unit of distance, distance to show distance markers and direction to show direction markers. Below is a playground to play with the parameters, see a preview and get the HTML code.

Sometimes someone will send you a .gpx file that contains a route or directions in which you're interested. Rather than loading it onto your own GPS to see what it's all about, you can open the file and view the map with a few simple steps.

*Note 1: This is not a way to use someone else's .gpx file on your own device.

*Note 2: This may not work in all browsers.

Step 1: Get a .gpx file
This is usually sent to you via email or handed to you on a USB drive. Save the file to your local computer's hard drive.

Step 2: Go to www.gpsvisualizer.com

Step 3: In the 'Get started now!' box (it's green as of this writing), Click the 'Choose File' button and pick the file you saved to your local hard drive in Step 1. Make sure that the output format is set to 'Google Maps' and click the 'Go!' button.

GPS Visualizer will work for a few seconds, then display a web page with a 'Google hybrid' view and the .gpx contents displayed visually. Personally, I like 'Google map' view, so I switch it.

Step 4: To save the file for later reference, or emailing to another person, you need to be on the 'Google Maps output' screen. In the text description, click on the link that says 'save your Google Map' and it will download an .html file to your computer. This is the file that you can open later, send via email, or whatever.

I've tried opening the file on Chrome (works), IE (works), Firefox (doesn't work), and on Mobile Chrome (works).
