GPX viewer: open GPX, FIT and TCX files on a map, in your browser

Drop a GPX, FIT or TCX file and see the route drawn, with distance, moving time and elevation read from the file. It never leaves your machine.

Drop a GPX, FIT or TCX file here — or click to choose Several files at once is fine. Zipped .fit.gz from a Strava export works too.

GPX viewer: open GPX, FIT and TCX files on a map, in your browser

What the viewer shows

The route as a single line, drawn from the coordinates in the file, and the numbers the file carries: distance measured from the points, moving time from the timestamps, elevation gain from the altitude series. Where the file has no timestamps — a planned route rather than a recording — the time shows as a dash rather than a guess. What the numbers mean explains each of them.

Why it runs in the browser

Because a GPS file starts at your front door. Most online viewers upload the file to a server to draw it; this one does not. The parser and the drawing code are the same ones behind our prints, and they run on your machine. Close the tab and nothing is left anywhere.

From the viewer to a print

If the route is worth keeping, Print this route opens the editor with the same file already loaded — no second upload. There it is drawn on paper at 30×40, 50×70 or 70×100, with or without a map, and the first and last 500 metres are clipped before it is printed. The viewer itself does not trim anything; it shows the file as it is.

Files that will not draw

An indoor session — turbo, treadmill, pool — has no GPS points, and the viewer says so instead of drawing a dot. A route exported from a planner has a shape and no time. And a file that will not open at all is usually not a GPX: GPX, FIT or TCX sorts out which is which, and the FIT file viewer is the same tool with FIT in mind.

Getting the file out of Strava, Garmin or the app on your wrist is covered in the Strava guides and the guides overview.

Questions people actually ask

Is the file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and drawn in your browser by the same code that draws our prints. Close the tab and nothing remains. Only if you click Print this route is the file handed to the editor — still in your browser.

Which formats work?

GPX, FIT and TCX, zipped or not (.fit.gz from a Strava export opens directly). The format is detected from the content, so a misnamed file still opens.

Why does the distance differ from Strava or Garmin?

The viewer measures the points in the file; apps apply their own smoothing and corrections. A few percent of difference is normal. Elevation differs more — see why Strava and Garmin disagree about elevation.

Can I view several files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and each is drawn as its own card. To draw them on one sheet — a heatmap — use Print this route or the editor.
