Convert GPX to GP

Understanding GPX and GP file formats

The GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is a widely-used XML schema designed for transferring GPS data between applications and devices. It stores waypoints, tracks, and routes, making it a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals who need to share GPS data.

The GP file format, on the other hand, is less common and is typically associated with specific software applications that use it for storing geographical data or other related information. The exact nature of a GP file can vary depending on the software that uses it.

How to convert GPX to GP

Converting a GPX file to a GP file can be necessary when you need to use GPS data in a software application that only supports the GP format. The conversion process involves translating the XML-based GPX data into the format required by the GP file.
