## Overview

The GeoJSON to GPX Converter is a streamlined utility designed to transform geographic data from GeoJSON format into the industry-standard GPX (GPS Exchange Format), ensuring compatibility with GPS devices, mapping software, and outdoor navigation apps.

## Inputs

- **GeoJSON Input** (textarea): Enter GeoJSON data...
- **Output Type** (select)
- **Track/Route Name** (text): Default name for tracks/routes
- **Pretty Print Output** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to upload custom map data or planned routes to a handheld GPS device.
- When integrating geographic coordinates from web-based mapping tools into fitness or navigation applications.
- When standardizing location data for use in software that exclusively supports the GPX file format.

## How it works

- Paste your GeoJSON data into the input area.
- Select your preferred output type, such as waypoints, tracks, or routes, to define how the geometry is interpreted.
- Customize the track or route name and toggle the pretty print option for better readability.
- Click the convert button to generate and download your GPX file.

## Use cases

- Converting custom hiking trail coordinates from a web map into a format readable by a Garmin GPS device.
- Preparing location data for use in cycling computer software that requires GPX files for route planning.
- Standardizing geographic points exported from a database for use in professional GIS or navigation workflows.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between GeoJSON and GPX?

GeoJSON is a JSON-based format for encoding geographic data structures, while GPX is an XML schema designed specifically for GPS data exchange between software and hardware.

### Can I convert multiple features at once?

Yes, the tool processes the provided GeoJSON input and converts the contained geometries into the selected GPX output format.

### What does the 'Auto' output type do?

The 'Auto' setting automatically detects the geometry type within your GeoJSON and maps it to the most appropriate GPX structure.

### Is my data stored on your servers?

No, all conversion processes are performed locally or transiently, and your data is not stored or shared.

### Why is my GPX file not showing up on my device?

Ensure your device supports the specific GPX structure (waypoints vs. tracks) and that the file is placed in the correct directory on your GPS unit.
