A great way to explore GPX routes

GPX Explore makes it easy to see a route and understand the terrain. The elevation profile and color-coded tracks are especially helpful for spotting climbs and descents. Everything is clearly laid out, with useful stats alongside the map. A really handy app for taking a closer look at GPX files!

Great app

Easy to used, the addition of gradient as % value would be amazing

Response from developer

Thank you. 1.5, out now, colours the track by grade and the route card shows the maximum uphill and downhill grade as a percentage; the chart under the map also carries heart rate, power and cadence when the file has them. If there is a file it gets wrong, info@objectgraph.com reaches me directly.

Simple but beautiful

This is a great little app that I use for looking at gpx tracks of bike tours I want to do this summer. It’s fantastic for exploring, and the GUI is clean and simple (in a good way). The underlying Apple Maps look great. (Using it on a large screen in MacOS.)

Thanks for sharing!

Response from developer

Thank you. 1.5 adds a workout summary with moving time, pace, gain and loss and splits, and charts any sensor the file carries, which should help with sizing up a tour before riding it. Sample files and a demo you can scrub are on objectgraph.com/gpxexplore.
