The geographic datum of OpenStreetMap worldwide is WGS-84, so please make sure your uploaded tracks are in WGS-84 lat/lon. The server understands standard GPX Version 1.0 and 1.1, except that the tag must be present on every track or way point. Other software that is relevant to OpenStreetMap and is available for a variety of platforms, including mobile devices, is listed under Software.įurther reading What formats are supported? For a list of supported GPS data formats and other conversion tools, see List of GPS trace file formats. It is a versatile tool that can convert between many of the popular GPS track file formats, see also guide how to GPSBabel/Convert tracelogs to GPX. GPSBabel is a free download available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

(If your original track file does not contain time data, you can have GPS Visualizer add simulated timestamps by selecting " Add artificial timestamps" in the Advanced Options section of the conversion form.) The resulting file can then be saved to your computer before uploading to OpenStreetMap. Simply upload your GPS track file, select GPX as the output format and click "Convert". GPSvisualizer can convert many GPS track formats to GPX.
