Exporting GPX data

Exported GPX data can be imported into many GPS devices as well as many mobile apps.

Once you’ve created your road trip, select Export GPX File from the File menu.  This creates a file containing GPX data.   Consult with your GPS device’s manual for importing GPX data or see below for more info.

Ensure that at least one of the data check boxes on the export window is checked.  Otherwise no data is exported.  If the “Include Route data” or “include Track data” is checked, ensure you’ve generated the routes.  Otherwise no route (or track) data is exported (the route and track data are the same but some GPS devices prefer track data instead of route data).

The info from this file was exported as GPX data and then imported into our GPX-Viewer app for the iPhone and iPad as shown below.

The waypoint (or map pin) fields in the GPX file are formatted as shown in the below example.

The <desc> field is important because it is the location address.
