It essentially consists of a series of GPS points encoding one or multiple GPS traces, and, optionally, some points of interest. +These traces can be stored either as tracks or as routes. GPX files may also contain metadata, of which the **name** and **description** fields are the most useful for users. @@ -27,6 +29,20 @@ These are organized in a hierarchical structure, with tracks at the top level. In most cases, GPX files contain a single track with a single segment. However, the hierarchy described above allows for more advanced use cases, such as planning multi-day trips with several variants for each day. +### Routes + +A **route** is a single continuous path made of a sequence of **route points**. +These are mandatory checkpoints, which correspond to the anchor points of the [routing tool](./toolbar/routing). +The points in between are only a suggested path connecting the route points. +Like a track, a route can have a **name**, a **description**, and **appearance properties**. + + + +Nowadays, most apps and GPS devices work perfectly well with tracks, even for navigation. +However, some of them only work with routes: in that case, you can [convert](./menu/edit) your tracks to routes, or [create](./menu/file) a route file from the start. + + + ### Points of interest **Points of interest** (technically called _waypoints_) represent locations of interest to show either on a GPS device or on a digital map.
