GPX editor

Fix a route file on the map, or draw a new one that follows footpaths and cycle routes.

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

What you can do

Pick

Pick a stretch on the line or the profile and delete it, or redraw it along the paths. You can also keep just that bit.

Draw

Click along the map and the line follows footpaths or roads. Switch to straight lines for a ferry crossing.

Bend

Drag a wobbly bit back onto the path you took. The points either side follow, so it bends rather than spikes.

Tidy

Take out stray points, or thin out a file that has far more points than it needs. You can turn a route round here too.

Files

Split a recording in two, or into one file per day, and join files back together.

Where the paths come from

Drawing along paths uses OpenStreetMap, which people all over the world keep up to date. The routing is a free service run by FOSSGIS, a German open-source group. Only the two points you clicked are sent to it, never your file. If it can't find a way, that bit is drawn straight and the editor tells you.

Questions

Is my file uploaded?

No. Your browser changes the file on your device. The film button is the only thing that sends a route anywhere.

Can I use it on a phone?

Yes. Tap to pick, draw and split, with the tools along the bottom. Bending the line works with one finger, though it's easier with a mouse.

Are times and heart rate kept?

Points you leave alone keep everything they had. Points drawn into a recording get times and heights shared out between the two ends. A new route you draw has no times.

Why doesn't the drawn line follow my path?

The router only knows paths that are on OpenStreetMap. Where one's missing, use Straight line for that bit. Or add the path to OpenStreetMap and it'll be there for everyone.

Can I undo a change?

Yes. Press Undo or Ctrl+Z (⌘Z on a Mac) to go back through your last 60 changes, and Redo to go forward again.
