FAQ
GPX to RAD 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 RAD files?
The RAD format is supported by a ray tracing application called Radiance, which contains several tools that support lighting simulation and measuring light levels. RAD files are often used in architectural project to design and evaluate lighting systems. Apart from lighting features, they can also save objects and materials, and they serve as input for OCT files that facilitate the scene rendering.
