Import a GPX / KML file


Sport Distance Calculator





Import your file

You can load a route from your GPX or KML files, created by your GPS.

Steps to import a GPX or KML file:
  • Click the "Browse" button below to select your .gpx or .kml file.
  • Turn on "Merge files" if you want to combine several tracks (in that case, stay on this page after importing the first file).
  • Click "Send!" to start the import.
Merging several routes:
You can import several files (GPX or KML) and combine them into a single route, which is ideal for:
  • Assembling several legs of the same route.
  • Creating a single track from separate segments.
  • To merge your routes: import the first file (a preview will appear below), then stay on this page and import the second file.
Features available after import:
  • View the route on an interactive map.
  • Data analysis: distance, elevation, topography.
  • Edit the route if needed.
  • Export as a GPX or KML file.
  • Print with the route's details, or save the route online.

What Are GPX and KML Files?

GPX Files (GPS Exchange Format):

The GPX file is a standardized XML format used to record and exchange GPS data. It's mainly used for sports activities such as hiking, cycling, running and trail running.

Example use: recording an MTB ride with a GPS watch, then viewing the track on a map.

KML Files (Keyhole Markup Language):

The KML file is also an XML format, created by Google to display geographic data in software such as Google Earth or Google Maps.

Example use: creating a route to display in Google Earth, or preparing a track to follow on the ground.

Both formats are compatible with most sports GPS apps and can be used to import a route on this page.
