Every GPX file can contain tracks (GPS breadcrumb trails), routes (planned paths), and waypoints (named points like summits or parking).
What each one means
- Track — recorded GPS path, most common for shared hikes and rides
- Route — planned sequence of points, may lack elevation detail
- Waypoint — a single labeled location on the map
GPX Viewer displays all three. Start with what is a GPX file.
