About GPX

GPX is an XML schema produced by virtually every GPS device and fitness app — Garmin, Wahoo, Strava, Komoot, Ride with GPS, Suunto, and Polar all read and write it. It carries tracks (recorded paths), routes (planned paths), and waypoints, optionally with elevation and timestamps.

Typical producers: Garmin, Wahoo, Strava, Komoot, Ride with GPS, OsmAnd.
Typical consumers: Garmin Connect, Strava, Komoot, rooot.it, QGIS.

How to view a GPX file

  1. Open the viewer.
  2. Drag your GPX file (.gpx) onto the page, or click the + in the Places panel.
  3. The file renders on a 3D MapLibre globe. Use the right-hand panel to toggle background layers (borders, labels, roads, buildings, transportation, places, terrain).
  4. Click features for details, or use the bottom toolbar to convert to another format.

GPX viewer FAQ

Can I view a GPX file without Garmin Connect, Strava, or installing software?

Yes. Drop the .gpx on rooot viewer and it renders on a 3D MapLibre globe with terrain. No account, no install.

Does this work for GPX exports from Garmin, Strava, Komoot, Wahoo, or Ride with GPS?

All of them. GPX is a standard XML schema; rooot viewer reads tracks, routes, and waypoints from any conformant exporter.

Can I send a GPX route into the rooot.it route planner?

Yes — after loading the file, click "Open in roooute" and the geometry opens in https://rooot.it/planner/ as a fixed route you can edit and save.

What is the maximum GPX file size?

50 MB. A 50 MB GPX easily holds a multi-day tour at 1 Hz recording.

Is rooot viewer free?

Yes. No account required. There are no per-conversion or per-view charges.

Does rooot viewer upload my files?

Files are parsed server-side for rendering but are not persisted unless you click Convert or Open in roooute. Persisted files are deleted within 24 hours.

Privacy

Files dropped on the main viewer are parsed server-side for rendering but are not persisted. Persistence happens only when you click Convert or Open in roooute; persisted files are deleted within 24 hours. Direct conversions through the per-format converter pages do not persist anything at all.
