How to Convert GPX to KML

GPX is the universal format for GPS data, used by Garmin, Suunto, and most GPS devices. KML is Google Earth's native format. Converting GPX to KML lets you view your tracks, waypoints, and routes on Google Earth's 3D globe or in Google Maps.

Our converter parses all elements of your GPX file — waypoints become Placemarks, tracks become LineStrings (with multiple segments preserved as separate lines), and routes also become LineStrings with their name and description preserved.

Open the resulting KML file in Google Earth, upload it to Google My Maps, or use it in any GIS application that supports the KML standard.
