TwoNav devices and CompeGPS Land may require tracks in their native TRK format instead of GPX. Converting a GPX file makes it usable in that software, but the result must match the specific CompeGPS or TwoNav TRK variant supported by the destination.
What the GPX format is
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML-based exchange format for GPS receivers, outdoor navigation apps, mapping software, GIS tools, and activity services. A file can contain tracks, planned routes, and waypoints; points may include latitude, longitude, elevation, time, names, descriptions, and extension data.
Garmin devices, smartphone tracking apps, sports platforms, handheld navigators, and GIS applications commonly use GPX for import and export. Its documented text structure makes it a convenient interchange format before data is opened in software using a proprietary native format.
What the TRK format is
In GPS navigation and mapping, TRK commonly refers to the CompeGPS track format used by CompeGPS Land and TwoNav. It stores a recorded or planned path for map display, navigation, analysis, and editing. CompeGPS TRK is generally a proprietary binary format, unlike GPX, which is a broadly supported XML exchange format.
TRK is useful when the receiving CompeGPS or TwoNav application or device specifically requires it, and its native data model may retain track properties that the target software uses. The .trk extension is not a universal GPS standard; other products can use it for unrelated track formats, so verify the required format before converting.
How to convert GPX to TRK
The built-in converter on 101convert.com can perform the conversion without installing software:
- Select the source file, such as
hike.gpx. - Choose
TRKas the output format. - Start the conversion and download the resulting
hike.trkfile. - Open the output in CompeGPS Land or TwoNav and check it on the map before transferring it to a device.
For a desktop command-line conversion, GPSBabel can write the CompeGPS format when the installed build includes its CompeGPS output driver:
gpsbabel -i gpx -f hike.gpx -o compegps -F hike.trkHere, -i gpx selects the input format, -f hike.gpx specifies the source, -o compegps selects the CompeGPS writer, and -F hike.trk specifies the output file. If GPSBabel reports that compegps is unavailable, use a build containing that driver or import the GPX in CompeGPS Land or compatible TwoNav software through File → Import, then use its TRK export or save command if available.
Quality and compatibility limits
The geographic path normally transfers as a sequence of coordinates, but GPX extensions have no guaranteed TRK equivalent. Heart rate, cadence, temperature, power, custom symbols, embedded links, course points, and application-specific styling may be lost or transformed.
A GPX route and a GPX track are different objects: a route is an ordered set of planning points, while a track is usually a recorded or densely sampled path. Check which object the converter and destination software create. If the device accepts tracks but not routes, convert or export the route as a track before transfer.
Missing elevation, timestamps, or other source values can produce incomplete output. After conversion, verify the start and end points, route shape, total distance, elevation profile, waypoints, and turn information. Keep the original GPX because TRK is less portable and may not open outside compatible CompeGPS or TwoNav software.
