What Is a GPX File?

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is the standard file format for GPS data. It stores:

• Tracks — recorded paths showing where you’ve been
• Routes — planned paths you intend to follow
• Waypoints — individual points of interest with coordinates

GPX files are produced by GPS devices, fitness watches, smartphone apps, and outdoor activity platforms like Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot, and AllTrails.

How to View a GPX File

1. Go to the GPX viewer
2. Drag and drop your .gpx file onto the page (or click to browse)
3. See it on the map — tracks are drawn as lines, waypoints as pins
4. Switch between satellite and street view as needed

The file is parsed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your data stays private.

What Distance Map Shows You

• The full track drawn on a satellite or street map
• Total distance in kilometers, miles, or other units
• Waypoints marked with their names and descriptions
• Bounds automatically zoomed to fit your route

Compatible Sources

Distance Map’s GPX viewer works with files from:

• Garmin devices and Garmin Connect
• Strava (export your activities as GPX)
• Komoot route exports
• AllTrails trail downloads
• Wikiloc track downloads
• OpenStreetMap trail data
• Smartphone GPS apps
• Any device or app that exports standard GPX 1.0 or 1.1

Privacy

Your GPX files are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to any server. When you close the page, the data is gone.

This makes Distance Map’s GPX viewer ideal for:

• Reviewing personal fitness data
• Sharing routes that contain sensitive locations (like your home)
• Quick checks without committing to an account or upload

Why Use an Online GPX Viewer?

You don’t always have access to specialized GPS software, and uploading to fitness platforms requires accounts and waits for syncing. An online viewer lets you:

• Quickly review a GPX file someone sent you
• Verify a downloaded route before transferring to your GPS device
• Compare tracks without needing to install software
• View on any device — phone, tablet, or computer
