Export to GPX

Exports datasets from ArcGIS to GPX format (waypoints, routes and tracks) that can be used with the different desktop or mobile applications and online services.

Parameter

Comments

Input features
<in_features>

Input feature class that will be exported to GPX format.

Output file
<out_file>

Output .gpx file that the input features will be exported to.

GPX data types
<geometry>

Select output GPX data type:

  • WAYPOINT - input points will be exported to output GPX file as waypoints.

  • ROUTE - input features will be exported to output GPX file as routes with route points.
    All points will be exported as route points in a single route. Each polyline or polygon feature (and also multipart feature) will be a unbroken separate route with the feature nodes as route points.

  • TRACK - input features will be exported to output GPX file as tracks with track points.
    All points will be exported as track points of a single track segment in a single track. Each polyline or polygon feature will be a separate track with the feature parts as track segments and feature nodes as track points.

Attributes
{fields}

Select attributes that will be added to the output file and specify input fields from the drop-down list for them:

  • NAME - numeric, text or date field can be specified.

  • DESCRIPTION - numeric, text or date field can be specified.

  • COMMENT - numeric, text or date field can be specified.

  • SYMBOL - numeric, text or date field can be specified (unavailable for input polylines and polygons).

  • TIME - only date field can be specified (unavailable for input polylines and polygons).

  • ELEVATION - only numeric field can be specified (unavailable for input polylines and polygons).

Input fields with the same names as GPX attributes will be selected by default.

Keep additional attributes
{keep_additional_attributes}

Select this option if you wish to keep all additional attributes that can be in the input dataset attribute table.

Only input fields with the same names as GPX attributes (including supported extensions) are taken into account (see the XTools Pro Export to GPX tool help page for more details about supported additional attributes).

Input time zone
{utc_timezone}

Select a time zone of input features from the drop-down list to convert specified TIME field values to UTC +00:00 correctly.

The option is available if TIME attribute is selected and specified.

Zero date
{use_zero_date}

Select this option to add 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z as TIME attribute value for all points in output GPX file if timestamps are required and input features don't have date field or its values are incorrect or missing.

The option is available if TIME attribute is not selected or cannot be specified (e.g. for input polylines and polygons).

Note:

This XTools Pro geoprocessing tool is identical to the XTools Pro Export to GPX tool.
