GPX to PCX 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 PCX files?
The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.
