Ich nutze einen Tracker (GNS3000), welcher in NMEA 0138 Dateien aufzeichnet und als txt speichert. Wird nicht erkannt. Wieso wird keine Probeversion angeboten. Man kauft für nichts. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-09-17* Open a GPX file and all it shows are straight lines between waypoints, useless. ### 5/5 — Fonctionne parfaitement pour ouvrir et exporter touts tracés GPX *2020-05-16, version 3.3.1* Excellente application. Rend bien des services comme interface pour gérer ses traces GPX. Permet d'importer, visualiser et ouvrir dans d'autres applications des routes et traces GPX. ### 1/5 — Werkt niet *2019-09-26, version 3.2* Enkel zwart scherm... ### 3/5 — Was amazing but........ *2019-09-19* since the latest update I can’t open GPX files stored in Dropbox and since that’s where I save all my files I’m a bit stuck! Any advice? ### 5/5 — One of the best trip planning apps *2019-09-17* GPX Reader is one of my favourite motorcycle trip planning apps. I use Garmin Base Camp to create a basic route, then use GPX Reader to view the route in hybrid mode. Hybrid mode combines satellite with map views so it's easy to zoom in and search out remote roads not easily found. Some of my best trips where planned with the help of GPX Reader. Thanks ### 2/5 — Setting screen doesn’t work (not worth £1.99!) *2018-06-03* Nice images (from google earth) with inaccurate blue track marked...but settings for waymarks and tracks doesn’t work (greyed out). Can’t find any other setting anywhere! Bizarre. No help for walks apart from seeing Google Earth images. Am I missing something? ### 2/5 — Finally got the app to read my tcx files *2016-07-07* Limited functionality, but does what you expect. Would like to see route distance expressed in miles rather than km. Option to save to Google Maps would be useful. ### 3/5 — No Labels *2016-06-05* The map plots all of my points but doesn't label them. I have no idea what point is what. ## Frequently asked questions about GPX Reader ### What can I do with this app?

We hope that for now the opening of GPX files works for everybody. ### 3.3 — 2019-10-01 Another month. Another release with some small changes: * We made it possible to change the route / course color independent of the track color. Thank you Ingemar for the remark. * Cleanup the drawing of the lines on the map. * Make sure the review popup triggers all the time. Sorry for the inconvenience... Enjoy! ### 3.2.1 — 2019-09-26 Whoopsie... We made GPX Reader back available for devices with an iOS version lower than 13. Sorry for the inconvenience. ### 3.2 — 2019-09-25 Thanks to some feedback of our awesome users we were able to fix a few bugs. * You should now be able to open every file type with GPX Reader.

(This will only work when you're running iOS 13) ### 3.1 — 2019-09-17 Apparently we forgot the distance marker during our revamp. Well, it's back!
