GPS Exchange File
An open, XML-based standard designed for storing and sharing geospatial activity data across devices and platforms. Originally developed for GPS devices, it has become the universal language for outdoor navigation, fitness tracking, geocaching and adventure travel.
Key Features of GPX
XML Format:
The GPX format is based on XML, which is a standard and human-readable markup language. It can store GPS location data in a structured and consistent way. It can also be easily parsed and validated by various software applications.Data Storage:
The GPX format can store three types of GPS location data:Waypoints
- Points of interest with GPS coordinates, such as landmarks, destinations, or checkpoints.Routes
- Sequences of waypoints that provide directions for a planned journey.Tracks
- Records of your movement with a series of points that trace your path.
Interoperability:
Works with Garmin, Strava, AllTrails, Google Earth, and most GIS apps.
GPX Files Conversion
Automapki Application for AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD enables direct import and export of GPX files within your DWG editing environment. You can precisely integrate GPS location data with your CAD designs and visualize them in their real-world geographical context. This add-on automatically handles coordinate system conversion and accurately projects GPS data onto georeferenced DWG drawings while maintaining spatial precision.
Google Earth Placemark File
A compressed file format that bundles KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files along with their associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, smaller archive. Designed for efficient storage and sharing, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for distributing complex geospatial projects.
Advantages and Features
ZIP Compression:
Using standard ZIP compression, this format significantly reduces file size and bandwidth usage compared to uncompressed KML, enabling faster transfers and more efficient storage.Geometrical Support:
The KMZ format accommodates diverse geospatial elements, including points, line strings, polygons, and 3D models (Collada DAE), allowing for rich representation of real-world features.Compatibility:
Widely supported across platforms, the KMZ file format works seamlessly with major geospatial tools like Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, and QGIS, ensuring easy sharing and editing.
KMZ File Converter
Our Automapki Application enables seamless KMZ file import and export in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD. It allows you to convert DWG entities - such as points, lines, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for use in Google Earth. With full two-way conversion capabilities, Automapki add-on ensures smooth data exchange between these formats.
