Dynamic GPX example 09/26/08 A side effect of GPS Visualizer's new-found ability to read data dynamically (e.g., from Google Spreadsheets) is the ability to read KML and GPX files on the fly; there's an example map that reads tracks and waypoints from a GPX file. NoniGPSPlot track logs. The following formats are supported (maximum 8MB, automatically detected): Google Earth (KML, KMZ), Google Maps directions (XML, JSON), PCX5 (tracks, waypoints), GPX.

Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

Hello,

I'd like to find a good Windows application to edit GPX files, mainly to add/move/rename/delete waypoints, and sometimes edit tracks (move, slice, reverse, delete).

GPX Editor (1.6.18.1649):
Supports Google Maps or OSM as maps
Missing some features (double-click on a waypoint > doesn't show where it's located on the map)
Buggy (delete a waypoint: Not deleted from map)
Looks like abandonware (http://www.knackes.com/blog/ : no trace of app)

GPS Track Editor (1.15)
As the name implies, only reads tracks from GPX files, and ignores waypoints
Besides, it's officially abandonware.

JOSM
Does the job, and is obviously activally developped, but it's overkill just to edit waypoints on a map.

=> What I'd like, is an application like GPX Editor that would actually work as expected and under active development (and ideally, can read/write KML files, but I can live without). It doesn't have to be freeware/open-source, as long as it's affordable for home users.

Thank you.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

I think JOSM is the best for this. I don't see how 'overkill' applies. You don't need to use any of its other features. I usually import GPX, convert to data layer, play with it, then convert back to GPX.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

Some years ago I used QLandkarte https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM … QLandkarte
Good for analyze gpx files (e.g. track colour depending on speed) and modify them.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

A couple of other options - Garmin's Mapsource https://www.garmin.com/us/maps/mapsource and Basecamp http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/basecamp (which are useful if you're doing stuff with maps for Garmin devices).

Personally, for editing GPS files I just use a text editor https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?EmacsForWindows , but that may not be to everyone's taste

What about the listing in the OSM wiki at

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

Thanks for the links.

The reason I said 'overkill' re JOSM, is that as much as possible, I prefer to use a tool that doesn't have a busy interface, ie. a bunch of features I will never use. Besides, I prefer native apps instead of Java/QT because of the occasional quirks in the look 'n feel, and the time to load the app.

After trying all those, it looks like JOSM is the only app that fits my needs. Too bad GPX Editor is no longer developped.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

GPS TrackMaker is my favorite. The included North and South American raster maps are for demonstration only but with the free version you can't import your own GeoTIFF maps. For plain vector work background maps are not needed. OziExplorer is not free either and it has old fashioned user interface but it does have good features for GPX editing.

Does it mean the free version provides no maps? I don't see how I could work with waypoints from a GPX file with no maps behind.

Thanks.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

Does it mean the free version [of GPS TrackMaker] provides no maps? I don't see how I could work with waypoints from a GPX file with no maps behind.

It depends what you are doing with your waypoints, tracks, and routes. If you need background maps and are not willing to pay for the license and then acquire maps as GeoTIFFs for georeferencing them locally then it is not your tool.

OziExplorer 3.95.6f
http://www.oziexplorer.com
File > Load from File > Import GPX file : nothing happens
File > Load from File >Load Waypoints from File: nothing happens
No maps?

Something probably happens but you do not see it. OziExplorer is a moving map program from 90's and it requires a georeferenced map to start with. It is old-fashion but it does work. For serious use you will need a license perhaps it is not the tool for you either.

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

Might be an old thread but GPX editor is still semi-actively being developed.
Can get a beta version that has come out September last year from SF here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpxedi … %20Editor/

Re: Editing GPX files: Good Windows application?

The best Software I used is GPS Track Editor. You can see GPX data on Openstreet map and edit them wherever you want.
