Exporting GPX Data from Popular Activity Tracking Applications and Websites

Our process starts from the data that describe your activity. The core file format is a GPX file, which includes only the coordinates of your activity and no personal information. These data are the basis for our designs, so we need them to get started. 

The GPX is an industry-standard file format that is supported by most major apps and websites. Below you can find brief guides on how to export a GPX file from various apps and websites, which enables you to upload your own data and get started.
