Merge GPX files

Put several route files together into one. It might be a walk over a few days, or a ride you recorded in two halves. You choose the order and what happens in between.

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

How to merge GPX files

  1. Drop your files here or choose them. They can be different types, so a GPX and a FIT is fine.
  2. Put them in order with the arrows. If they have times, Put in time order does it for you.
  3. Choose a gap or a line between them.
  4. Save. You get a GPX unless you pick another type.

A gap or a line

With a gap, each file stays its own piece inside one track. A watch won't draw a line across the bit where you got the train, and the distance only counts what you recorded.

Join with a line if you want one unbroken track, say to load as a course on a bike computer. The straight bit then counts towards the distance.

Questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Your browser puts them together on your device. Nothing leaves it unless you press the button to make a film.

Can I merge KML or FIT files?

Yes, and you can mix them. The merged file is a GPX unless you choose another type.

Are heart rate and cadence kept?

In a merged GPX, yes. Whatever a GPX had in its extensions, heart rate or temperature say, goes back out as it was.

How many files can I merge?

There's no set limit. A dozen day walks is quick on a phone. A month of rides at one point a second takes longer, and is easier on a computer.
