Most SmartGPX file tools run directly in your browser. Your GPX, KML and route files don't need to be uploaded to our servers.
Google Maps → GPX is the one exception: converting a route means contacting a routing service, so that request goes through SmartGPX's server.

THE GUIDE
Why Google Maps doesn't export a GPX file.
A Google Maps route is just a link, not a file your GPS can read. Getting a real track out of it means recomputing the route point by point, the same way Google's own navigation does. That routing computation is the one part of SmartGPX that needs a paid credit; every other tool on this page runs free, in your browser.
The result is a plain, open GPX file: the format Garmin, Wahoo, OsmAnd, Locus Map and most GPS tools already read natively, so importing it back onto your device just works.
Frequently asked questions

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is a standard, text-based file format for storing routes, tracks and waypoints. Most GPS devices and navigation apps can read it.
How do I convert a Google Maps route to GPX?

Can I use SmartGPX with Garmin?
Yes. GPX is a format Garmin devices and Garmin Connect support, so you can load a SmartGPX file directly onto compatible Garmin devices.
Does SmartGPX work with Wahoo?

Can I convert GPX back to Google Maps?
Yes. The free GPX → Google Maps tool turns a GPX track into a Google Maps directions link.
Do my credits expire?
No. Credits are purchased once and stay on your account until you use them.
Do I need a subscription?
No. SmartGPX has no subscription: you buy credits once and use them whenever you convert a route.
Are my GPX files uploaded to SmartGPX?
