Understanding wpt and gpx file formats

WPT files are waypoint files commonly used by GPS devices and mapping software. They store geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and sometimes additional information like names or descriptions for specific points of interest. GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is a widely adopted XML-based format for storing GPS data, including waypoints, routes, and tracks. GPX files are compatible with a broad range of GPS devices and mapping applications, making them ideal for sharing and transferring GPS data.
