- Description
- A GPX file is a GPS data file saved in the GPS Exchange format, which is an open standard that can be freely used by GPS programs. It contains longitude and latitude location data that may include waypoints, routes, and tracks. GPX files are saved in XML format, which allows GPS data to be more easily imported and read by multiple programs and web services.
- A GeoJSON file is a format for encoding a variety of geographic data structures using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It is a widely used open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes. GeoJSON supports various geographical data types such as points, lines, polygons, and multi-part collections of these types. It is commonly used for storing and exchanging spatial data on the web, as well as within various Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
