FAQ
GPX to GIF Conversion
What are GPX files?
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open, XML-based format for storing GPS data, created by TopoGrafix so that navigation devices, mobile apps, and websites could exchange it without any vendor lock-in. A GPX file can hold three kinds of things: waypoints, which are single places such as a summit or a campsite, routes, which are planned sequences of points to follow, and tracks, which are recorded paths with the time at which each point was passed. Each point has its latitude and longitude and can also have an elevation, a time, a name, and a comment. It is the standard way to share hiking, cycling, running, and driving routes, and it is supported by practically all GPS receivers, sport trackers, and mapping apps.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
