Online GPX viewer

Maptinker is a free online GPX viewer. Drop in a track from Strava, Garmin, or your phone and see the route on a map, then measure how far it runs. No account, no install, and no tracking cookies.

What is GPX?

GPX is the file your GPS gear speaks. Garmin units, Strava, Komoot, and most phone tracking apps can all export it. It's an XML format with three kinds of thing inside: waypoints (single marked spots), tracks (the breadcrumb trail an activity actually followed), and routes (a planned sequence of points).

Sharing a GPX is easy. Seeing it, without importing it into another app first, is less so. Maptinker draws it on a map in the browser.

How to open a GPX file

  1. Drag it in. Drop the .gpx onto the map or click to browse.
  2. See the trail. Waypoints come through as points, tracks and routes as lines, and the map zooms to fit the whole thing.
  3. Look closer. Click a point or line to read its attributes.

Measure how far a track runs

A common reason to open a GPX is to check the distance of a track. Switch on the measure tool and trace the line to read its length, or measure the area inside a loop. It's the quickest way to answer "how long was that?" without loading the file into a full GPS suite.

The file is read and drawn on your own machine. Nothing to install, no account to create, no tracking cookies, and we never sell or share your data.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open a GPX from Strava or Garmin?

Yes. GPX is the common export from Strava, Garmin, Komoot, and phone tracking apps, and Maptinker reads waypoints, tracks, and routes from any of them.

Can I measure how long a track is?

Yes. Use the measure tool and trace the track to read its distance, or measure the area of a loop.

Does it show an elevation profile?

No. Maptinker is a map view, so it draws the path and its points but doesn't chart elevation against distance.

What if the file has several tracks?

They all load. Each track and route becomes its own line, and waypoints come in as points.

Can I convert a GPX to GeoJSON?

Yes. Open it, then export to GeoJSON, CSV, a Shapefile ZIP, or FlatGeobuf.

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark.
