Your GPX files are processed in this browser. Map tiles come from external providers, which receive your IP address and the map areas requested.
Statistics include visible tracks and routes only. Distance follows recorded points, without joining separate segments. Timed duration sums valid consecutive timestamp intervals; moving time uses a 1 km/h threshold. Missing timestamps or elevations give partial results. Elevation gain is raw and may include GPS noise.

What is a GPX File?
A GPX (GPS Exchange Format) file is an XML-based file format used to store GPS data such as tracks, routes, and waypoints. GPX files are widely supported by GPS devices, fitness watches, smartphones, mapping applications, and outdoor navigation software. They allow users to record, share, and visualize geographic information with high accuracy.
Whether you're hiking, cycling, running, driving, surveying, or geocaching, GPX files make it easy to exchange GPS routes between different devices and applications.
