Convert Google Maps to GPX

Convert Google Maps to GPX – Overview

GMaps To GPX is a lightweight, web‑based converter that transforms Google Maps directions URLs into standards‑compliant GPX (GPS Exchange Format) files. The service works entirely in the browser, requiring only a URL paste and a sign‑in step to fetch the route data.

Key Features

• Automatic travel‑mode detection – extracts walking, cycling, driving, or transit mode from the Maps link.
• Multiple format options – export as track (full continuous path) or route (key waypoints).
• Support for short URLs – accepts both full Google Maps URLs and maps.app.goo.gl short links.
• Device‑specific presets – one‑click conversion for Android, iPhone, Pokémon GO, and other GPX‑compatible apps.
• Multi‑route selection – when several alternatives exist, choose the desired route before conversion.
• Advanced output settings – optional route naming, GPX type selection, and access to additional format converters (KML, TCX, FIT, GeoJSON, etc.).
• Privacy‑first design – conversion occurs on the server only during the session; users can delete their route data after download.

Typical Use Cases

• Android navigation – import the GPX track into OruxMaps, Locus Map, OsmAnd, or any Android GPS app.
• iOS location testing – load waypoints into Xcode’s iOS Simulator for app development.
• Pokémon GO route simulation – generate timestamped waypoints for route‑based gameplay tools.
• Fitness & mapping – feed the GPX file into Garmin, Strava, or other fitness platforms for activity recording.
• Web or desktop GIS – convert GPX to KML/GeoJSON for use in Google Earth, QGIS, or custom web maps.

Overall, the tool provides a fast, no‑install solution for anyone needing a portable GPX file from a Google Maps route, streamlining workflows across mobile, web, and desktop GPS ecosystems.
