GPXParser

GPX is a data format for the interchange of GPS data (waypoints, routes, tracks) between applications and Web services on the Internet [1]. Modern devices, such as activity trackers, often store GPS data in GPX files. GPXParser provides utilities for parsing GPX files.

Example

import gpsutils

gpxfile = open('test.gpx', 'r')

gpxparser.parse(gpxfile)

waypoints = gpxparser.gpx.waypoints
tracks = gpxparser.gpx.tracks
routes = gpxparser.gpx.routes
