GPX to CGM Conversion
What are GPX files?
GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an open, XML-based format for storing GPS data, created by TopoGrafix so that navigation devices, mobile apps, and websites could exchange it without any vendor lock-in. A GPX file can hold three kinds of things: waypoints, which are single places such as a summit or a campsite, routes, which are planned sequences of points to follow, and tracks, which are recorded paths with the time at which each point was passed. Each point has its latitude and longitude and can also have an elevation, a time, a name, and a comment. It is the standard way to share hiking, cycling, running, and driving routes, and it is supported by practically all GPS receivers, sport trackers, and mapping apps.
What are CGM files?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a format that contains vector graphics information (clip art, drawings) associated with graphics design or CAD programs. As opposed to other types of metafiles, such as EMF or WMF, CGM files are not only supported by Windows, but can be used on different platforms too. They are encoded using binary, character-based of clear-text encoding.
