Why won’t my GPX file open?

If your GPX file won’t open it may be because of the following reasons!

1. File doesn’t have .gpx extension – The file needs to end in .gpx (e.g., route.gpx not route.txt). Some apps or downloads might save it with the wrong extension.
2. File is corrupted or incomplete – If the download was interrupted or the file wasn’t saved properly, it may be missing essential data that makes it readable.
3. Invalid GPX format – The file might have errors in its structure or contain data that doesn’t follow standard GPX formatting, which can happen when it’s been manually edited or exported from certain tools.
4. File is too large – Very large GPX files with thousands of trackpoints or waypoints might exceed size limits or take too long to process.
5. Wrong file type – The file might actually be a different format (like KML, KMZ, or FIT) that just needs to be converted to GPX first.
