## Overview

The GPX to GeoJSON Converter is a streamlined utility designed to transform GPS Exchange Format (GPX) files into the widely supported GeoJSON format, ensuring your geographic data is ready for web mapping and spatial analysis.

## Inputs

- **GPX Input** (textarea): Enter GPX data...
- **Pretty Print Output** (checkbox)

## When to use

- When you need to display GPS tracks or waypoints on web-based maps like Leaflet or Mapbox.
- When integrating location data into applications that require the standard GeoJSON structure.
- When you need to convert legacy GPS device exports into a format compatible with modern GIS software.

## How it works

- Paste your raw GPX XML data into the input field.
- Select the 'Pretty Print' option if you require human-readable, indented output.
- Click the convert button to generate your GeoJSON data instantly.
- Copy or download the resulting JSON structure for use in your mapping projects.

## Use cases

- Preparing hiking trail data for interactive web maps.
- Converting vehicle tracking logs for visualization in custom dashboards.
- Standardizing location data for use in JavaScript-based mapping libraries.

## Frequently asked questions

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

GPX is an XML-based format primarily used for GPS devices, while GeoJSON is a JSON-based format optimized for web mapping and spatial data interchange.

### Does this tool support bulk conversion?

This tool processes one GPX input at a time via the text area interface.

### Will I lose my metadata during conversion?

The converter maps standard GPX elements like waypoints, tracks, and routes into the corresponding GeoJSON FeatureCollection structure.

### Is my data stored on your servers?

No, all conversions are performed locally in your browser, ensuring your location data remains private.

### What should I do if my GPX file is very large?

For extremely large files, ensure your browser has sufficient memory or consider splitting the GPX file into smaller segments before conversion.
