GPX web viewer

Extremely simple GPX track viewer, meant to be embedded in article webpages. Using leaflet and OpenStreetMap tiles.

GPX simplify script

Use python to compress a GPX track using gpxpy and the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm, optionally removing time. Requires pip3 to install the necessary packages in the virtual environment before running the first time:

cd python/
python3 -m venv .
source ./bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Then run with:

cd python/
./gpxsimplify.py -f <filename> -d <max distance in meters, float> -t <optional: remove time points>

up next:

1. setup a self-hosted tile server: https://github.com/Overv/openstreetmap-tile-server (resource heavy) or https://github.com/consbio/mbtileserver meant for lightweight hosts
2. display GPX track metadata
3. upload GPX tracks through HTML from webpage
