## What is GPX Atlas?

Atlas is a simple but powerful GPX reader.

Inspect Waypoints, Routes and Tracks
Atlas provides extensive details for all GPX elements. Inspect Track elevation, the location of Waypoints, and so much more. 

Create your own maps
Plan your travels, create a restaurant wish list or simply log all cities you've ever visited. It's as easy as creating a new map and start adding places. Add notes to describe a place or get directions from your location. Since all maps are saved as a GPX-file, it's easy to open your maps on other devices, like a handheld GPS.

Sharing
Share a single location with your friends or share your entire map.

Importing
Easily import GPX files from the web, iCloud Drive, Dropbox,...

iCloud Drive
All your maps are saved in iCloud Drive (if enabled) and are available on all your other iCloud Drive enabled devices. If iCloud Drive is not enabled, maps are stored locally.

Mapcode and Plus Code
Atlas has built-in support for Mapcode and Plus Code. Enter any of these codes in the search field to go to its exact location or get the Mapcode/Plus Code from a location by adding a Waypoint.

Search
Find places or locations with words, GPS-coordinates, Mapcodes or Plus Codes.

Atlas is optimized for iPhone, iPad Pro, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and supports keyboard shortcuts.

## Key features

- View detailed GPX elements (waypoints, routes, tracks)
- Create custom maps with notes and directions
- Import GPX files from cloud services
- Share locations and entire maps
- Search by coordinates, Mapcode, or Plus Code

### 1/5 — Old files won’t open after latest update

*2025-07-28*

So updated to the newest version of the app and the old file that I had been building for years of all my clients will no longer open.  Pretty awesome. 😤

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting. Can you contact me on atlas@boterham.co (not .com), so I can resolve this issue for you in a future update?

### 5/5 — Great app for keeping track of my hiking trails

*2025-07-26*

I use the app for keeping track of all my hiking tours since several years now. I put all tours into one large GPX file and with GPX Atlas I can beautifully view each trail and see which areas I have been and where not. The latest version 3 is now even better with click-on-track capability and height profiles shown!

### 1/5 — least useful app ever

*2022-09-17, version 2.2.1*

this does absolutely nothing  dont buy

### 2/5 — Didn’t understand that “edit” was very limited

*2021-10-21*

It was my bad for not reading the reviews prior to buying, I’m sure the app does exactly what they said it would do, but I saw the word edit and I bought it! You could probably make a lot of money if you created a gpx editor..

### 1/5 — You can’t actually edit a gpx route on iOS.

*2021-03-12, version 2.2.1*

The description - create, view and EDIT - is pretty misleading. Don’t buy if you want to edit a gpx route on iOS. You can’t do that here.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t appear to support editing

*2020-04-15, version 2.2*

:(

### 1/5 — HELP!!!

*2019-10-31*

Since the last update, the app is loading only one specific list of locations.

When I‘m trying to load one of the other lists, the app will also load this one specific list.

Will you PLEASE fix this issue right away?!?

**Developer response:** Thank you for writing your review. I don’t fully understand what you mean with lost of locations. Can you contact me at info@jancornelissen.com and explain in detail what is happening? Thanks a lot.

### 5/5 — SUPER

*2019-08-10, version 2.1.4*

Wanneer er ook nog foto’s zouden kunnen worden toegevoegd of een link naar een foto zou dat geweldig zijn.

### 1/5 — Geen enkele gpx laad

*2019-08-07, version 2.1.4*

Heb de app pas gekocht, en geprobeert mijn eigen gpx files als gpx files van vrienden of online proberen in te laden. Tot nu toe is geen enkele gelukt. Ook proberen te converteren en dan inladen. Niets werkt.

### 1/5 — Werkt niet voor mij

*2019-06-22, version 2.1.4*

Routes gecreëerd in navigatieprogramma iNavX worden niet herkend. Diezelfde routes worden door online programma zoals GPS visualizer echter wel herkend.
Kan hier dus niets mee doen.
