Stitching GPX files together

Post by journeyman »

Hello everyone. Can gpx files be stitched together? For example on a site like GPSies?

I have three gpx files saved as GPX tracks that map a monster route close to home and I want to cover it with one gpx file for sharing. Is it possible to modify a track at various points along the route if I find a better alternative?

Or do I have to sit in front of the pc clicking away.

Any gentle coaching for this luddite gratefully received. :-bd

I just do it in Notepad. Copy and paste the bits inbetween <trkseg> at the start and </trkseg> at the end to make one long file and save it.

I'm sure Andy's one works well, but I've used this before:

I also found a massive button on the screen in GPSies saying "MODIFY TRACK" :roll: Its telling that I go to this forum first though - flipping brilliant.
