Does anybody know whether there is a XSLT stylesheet freely available for
transforming gpx 1.0 files into gpx 1.1 files?

Not a direct answer, but if the GPX 1.0 files don't use extensions, GPSBabel
can rewrite them, recasting things like the tweaked spellings of URLs and
such.

If there are extensions in play, things are more complicated as  you may
have to change the extensions themselves.   I'll venture that an automated
tool for arbitrary extension is a difficult task.

I browsed through a few web sites, but does anyone know if there's a
short list of the differences between 1.0 and 1.1 around anywhere?

I don't think we published one in the group here.  The authoratitive answer
would be to compare the XSDs as they're the official word on what comprises
each.

There are no extensions in my files but GPSBabel has more problems
transforming gpx 1.0 to 1.1. Here is an example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<gpx version="1.0" creator="www.tourfinder.net"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0
http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">

<url>http://www.tourfinder.net/do/tour?action=show&part=overview&\
;id=1172&categoryId=1</url>
      <urlname>Tour: Biotopo Marocce di Dro</urlname>

will be transformed to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gpx
   version="1.1"
creator="GPSBabel - http://www.gpsbabel.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0
http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd">
<metadata>
<url>http://www.tourfinder.net/do/tour?action=show&part=overview&id=1172\
&categoryId=1</url>
<urlname>Tour: Biotopo Marocce di Dro </urlname>

1) the schema location is that of 1.0 so that there is a mixup between
1.0 and 1.1
2) <url> and <urlname> are not transformed to <link>
3) & is transformed to &
The result is a nonvalid gpx file.

So GPSBabel is no solution.

I also tryed Tourateq QV.
It reads 1.0 files and writes valid 1.1 files but it does not transform
<url> to <link> but deletes <url> and <urlname>.

Any other idea?

Christian

Actually, that's part of an example, not a reproducible test case.

#1 is indeed a bug that we introduced when trying to preserve headers.

I don't see either #2 or #3.   If you're interested in pursuing that, the
gpsbabel mailing list is probably the place for that.

For getting the 3 bugs with GPSBabel 1.3.6 and 1.3.7-beta20100215 (WinXP) I used
the following input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

             </trkpt>
         </trkseg>
     </trk>
</gpx>

GPSBabelGUI for 1.3.6 produced the following command line:
gpsbabel.exe -p "" -w -t -i gpx -f "C:\test\gpx-test-1.0.gpx" -o gpx,gpxver=1.1
-F "C:\test\gpx-test-1.1-by-1.3.6.gpx"

and the GUI for the beta showed the following command:
gpsbabel -w -r -t -i gpx -f C:/test/gpx-test-1.0.gpx -o gpx,gpxver=1.1 -F
C:/test/gpx-test-1.1.gpx

The result is exactly the same for both program versions - ignoring the
generated timestamp:

Ah, it's the top level metadata <url> that's getting mangled and not the one
that's in wpt/trk/rte.   That's why I wasn't seeing it.  Thanx for the test
case.

GPXel is a new web tool to visualize navigation files such as GPX and TCX files.
Upload your own file and get a one page summary of data including distance,
altitude and slope.
Topographic data will be retrieved automatically, if necessary. In addition the
route/track will be shown on a map, accompanied by the elevation and slope
profile.

http://www.gpxel.com/index.php

Hi guys,

I hope you can help out here.  We're stuck on one issue and could use the
experience of people with more history in pushing around navigation data.

We are exporting a route from a GPX and are trying to have
it display with the driving directions/route correctly overlaid on
Google Maps.

Question: can we use a gpx file as input into Google Maps to show a driving
route given several intermediate points? How?

More fully:

If I just call Google Maps with several route points, it displays the
map correctly.

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=34.210214,-118.200274&daddr=34.373063,-117.752\
172%20to:34.365936,-117.652859

(We've exported those coordinates from a gpx file).

But when I try to construct a KML file and have Google Maps point at
the KML file (e.g.
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://myserver.com/blahblah.kml), the route shows
up as a straight line between
waypoints. I want the route to follow the road.

What are we doing wrong?

The path ends up looking like http://greatestroad.com/images/straightlines.jpg
. The current kml file looks like this:

Hi,

I'm not really used to kml files, but your path is declared as a
multi-point line built from your waypoints. I think this is the core of
your problem.

Maybe you should use another kml data type to export your waypoints. But
wich one, i can't tell.

I can't find <speed> in GPX1.1 schema but in the 1.0 manual it is listed. Does
this mean that I should not use it if I develop an application that exports gpx
files?

Speed was present in GPX 1.0 and was unintentionally omitted from 1.1.
Since in most cases, speed was merely computed from successive timestamped
positions, it's not a huge deal.   But if you really do need to represent
speed in a valid GPX file, use 1.0 or represent it as an extension in 1.1

Hi Folks,

is there a "best way" for creating GPX-Files for adding Locations to photos?
I tried with only adding waypoints to the file but most Photo-Taggers won't
recognize theme correctly.

Would hope for an fast answer

The standard called 'EXIF' which is used for adding tags of all types to photos.
It was originally invented for information to do with how the camera was set up:
aparture, flush, etc. but it has been extended to hold many other types of
information including location information.  Photo-geotagging is almost always
done by adding EXIF information.  Take a look at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format#Geolocation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging#JPEG_photos

and perhaps EXIF 2.2 at

http://www.exif.org/specifications.html

There's probably a pre-made library and command-line program for your platform
which can be used to add extra tags to an existing image file.  You just call it
and feed it parameters.

You can look at how EasyGPS creates GPX 1.1 with geotagged photos.

Thanks for the answer but I think I misspell my meaning:

I don't want to tag photos by myself. I only wanna create the gpx-files so that
the users can decide which application they use for tagging.

I've tested this with waypoints only but most tagging-programs won't recognize
them.

If I have 3 GPX files exported from Garmin Training Center or
connect.garmin.com from three GPSes in the same race, is there any way to
put them together to visualize where all three competitors were at each
point of the race?  I've seen them do this on TV with something like an
ocean sailboat race or even for events like bicycle time trials or downhill
ski runs where the competitors weren't on the course at the same time, but
is there any free or cheap software to do it for yourself?

The time control of google Earth will do that.  Just set the throat to be
for a single second then press play.

Paul,

You can also use OpenJUMP and my open source GPX plug-in to import and view
GPX files.

Let me know if you want help getting OpenJUMP set-up to do this.

possible through module i can develop in asp.net using c#.am confused because
aima trying it by making DTD file for gpx and kml file but numbers of
tags/attributes are lots and aim not getting all tags.please provide me solution

I searched for some time on this until I read an article on Microsoft website.
Simply take the schema for GPX or KML and using the Visual Studio creat a DLL
from the schema. Then you can attempt to read the XML file and validate its
contents. I created on for both GPX 1.0 and 1.1 formats and now working on a KML
DLL. The code automatically generated will let you read and write these XML
files with little code in your ASPX page.

I would like to update the map in GPS devices such as Garmin 60CSX or Garmin
Navigator.What is the file format & how to do that?

Thanks

Not GPX.

Garmin sells map updates.  A few other groups make free maps.  See

Hi,

I recently added a timestamp to my GPX export, only to learn it was
rejected by MapSource, and also by the SaxCount.exe validator. My
header goes like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="no" ?>
<gpx version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"
creator="Auriga 1.24a http://www.speleo.qc.ca/Auriga"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1
http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd">
<time>2010-07-12T13:25:40Z</time>

Oddly, if I switch to GPX 1.0, it works. Is <time> no longer supported in 1.1?

Regards,

Time is supported.  Look in the XSD.

Most likely, you have it out of order or have created a malformed time
entry, but since you didn't include a full sample, we can't comment
authoritatively.
