Why use the GPX Exchange Format?

GPX lets you exchange data with other GPS users, who might not be using the same software as you.

Here are some of the benefits that GPX provides:

  • GPX allows you to exchange data with a growing list of programs for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Palm, and PocketPC.
  • GPX can be transformed into other file formats using a simple webpage or converter program.
  • GPX is based on the XML standard, so many of the new programs you use (Microsoft Excel, for example) can read GPX files.
  • GPX makes it easy for anyone on the web to develop new features which will instantly work with your favorite programs.
