GPXTools

There are dozens of different file formats for storing GPS data. The format that QGIS uses is called GPX (GPS eXchange format), which is a standard interchange format that can contain any number of waypoints, routes and tracks in the same file.

GPXTools is a Core Plugin, so it comes pre-installed in QGIS.

If you can't see the icon, ensure it is enabled in the "Manage and Install Plugins" Section

Using the plugin you can:

• Load data (including GPX, shapefiles etc.)

• Convert data to GPX

• Upload data directed to a GPS (when plugged in)
