A GPX file reader opens .gpx files and draws the route on a map with distance, elevation, and waypoints. Text editors show raw XML — a reader like GPX Viewer is what hikers and cyclists actually need.
What a good reader does
- Parses track points and waypoints from the GPX file
- Shows the route on standard, satellite, or hybrid maps
- Calculates distance and elevation gain automatically
