GeoPackage to GPX Converter
Export database track vectors as GPX files.
Export GIS data back to navigation devices. This upcoming translator extracts coordinate lines from database tables and converts them into standardized GPX XML track logs.
Direct Target Stream Unavailable
This direct channel is planned for an upcoming release. In the meantime, consult the technical specifications and guidelines below.
Specification Rules
- Load custom routes designed in GIS software onto standard GPS navigators
- Import facility boundary lines into mobile navigation systems
- Convert regional maps into simple path tracking logs
- Table layers must represent coordinates in sequence order (lines or points)
- Strictly outputs points, tracks, or route files based on database geometry
- Advanced database table relationships cannot translate to XML properties
GDAL Direct Equivalent Terminal Command
sh console shell
$ogr2ogr -f GPX output.gpx input.gpkg -sql "SELECT l.geom, l.name FROM route_table l"
Frequently Asked Queries
What geometry types does GPX accept?
GPX files only accept Point and LineString geometries. Polygon coordinates must be converted to boundary lines to export successfully.
How are track names assigned?
The converter matches specified columns in the source database to assign track names automatically.
Will coordinates be reprojected?
GPX explicitly requires standard coordinates. Coordinates are implicitly reprojected during the extraction.
