GPX Import: Turn Your GPS Data into a Living Travel Map
Connect your Garmin, Strava, or any GPS device to Wanderinga and see every route you have ever taken in one place.
April 28, 2026 · Wanderinga Team
If you record your hikes, bike rides, or road trips with a GPS device, you are sitting on a goldmine of data. The problem is that data usually stays buried in Garmin Connect, Strava, or a folder on your desktop.
Wanderinga's GPX import turns those raw tracks into something worth looking at.
What is a GPX file?
A GPX (GPS Exchange Format) file is a standard XML format that stores GPS coordinates over time. Virtually every GPS device and fitness app can export one:
- Garmin: Export from Garmin Connect as
.gpx - Strava: Export from the activity page
- Komoot: Download from any completed tour
- AllTrails: Available in the Pro version
- Any dedicated GPS unit or phone running a tracking app
