About GPX
TopoGrafix published GPX in 2002 as a common way for GPS receivers and mapping software to swap data. Garmin, Strava, Komoot, AllTrails, Gaia GPS and nearly every route planner, bike computer and watch import and export it.
A GPX is XML. Waypoints are single places, a route is the turns someone planned, and a track is the path a device recorded, point by point with its time and height. Garmin's extensions add heart rate, cadence, temperature and power to each point.
Filepeek draws a GPX over OpenStreetMap, dark or light, flat or on a globe, with its tracks, routes and waypoints listed beside the map. A recorded track gets a chart of its elevation, speed, heart rate, cadence and power along the way, and Show details gives its time, distance and climb. Measure walks a distance, and Export saves the view as PNG or the features as KML, GeoJSON, CSV or GPX.

Questions
How do I open a GPX file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a GPX. It opens on a map with its tracks and waypoints listed beside it, and nothing to install.
Can I see the elevation profile of a GPX?
Yes. A track with heights gets a chart under the map. Hover it to see where each point was, and switch it to speed, heart rate, cadence or power when the file has them.
Is my GPX uploaded to show the map?
No. Your file is read in your browser and stays there. The map under it is OpenStreetMap's, fetched as tiles through Filepeek's own server, which only learns which part of the world is on screen and keeps nothing.
Can I turn a GPX into a KML for Google Earth?
Yes. Open it, choose Export, then Save the features as KML. GeoJSON and CSV are there too.
Why does my GPX show no chart?
A route someone planned and waypoints have no times, so there's nothing to chart along the way. A track a device recorded gets one.
