What is a .gpx file?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A GPX file (short for GPS Exchange Format) is a universal file type that stores location data like routes, tracks, and waypoints. It can be created manually using mapping tools like the OS Maps app or generated automatically when recording a walk on a GPS device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These files use GPS coordinates to plot &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Waypoints<\/strong> \u2013 Specific points of interest (like a summit or viewpoint)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Routes<\/strong> \u2013 A series of waypoints connected to guide your journey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tracks<\/strong> \u2013 A breadcrumb trail of where you&#8217;ve walked, often automatically recorded by a GPS unit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of GPX files is their flexibility, they can be opened, edited, and shared across a variety of platforms and devices. Whether you\u2019re using the Ordnance Survey app, a Garmin GPS unit, or planning online, GPX files help keep you on track.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-recommended-websites-to-find-gpx-files\"><strong>2.
