How GPX is converted
- Tracks (
<trk>) become LineStrings — or MultiLineStrings when the track has several segments. - Routes (
<rte>) become LineStrings. - Waypoints (
<wpt>) become Points. - Names, descriptions and types become properties. Elevations are kept as the third coordinate, and point timestamps (and heart rate etc. when present) are kept in a
coordinatePropertiesproperty, following the common togeojson convention.
Trim or simplify a track
Select the track to edit its vertices: drag points, delete GPS spikes with a right-click or long-press, or cut a piece out with the Cut tool. The length updates as you edit.
