Creating a .GPX

Recommended Posts

I have a collection of caches that I want to visit on an extended road trip. I have all the .GPX's in a folder. Is there any way to combine them into one master .GPX so I can send it to friends so they can load the master .GPX (containing the specific .GPX's) into their GPSr? These caches were individually downloaded and don't conform to a "caches along a route" or any other geocaching.com automated search.

 

Thank you.

The simple answer is yes, and there are numerous ways to do it. If you're using a Windows PC I would suggest installing EasyGPS, which will allow you to import all those caches and then export them as a single .gpx, if you're using Linux I would suggest using GPSbabel, don't know about Macs but I think you could also use GPSbabel there.

 

No doubt someone will be along soon with alternatives.

I've been playing around with Basecamp but haven't been able to figure out how to create a "master" GPX from several GPX's.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks

In Basecamp : File/New/List

A List is like a database or category. I usually create a List for a Forest Preserve or city we're going to visit. Name your List.

 

File/Import into (your list)

 

Browse to a folder with multiple GPX files in it. Shift-click to select them all. Repeat as many times as desired.

 

File/Export (your list)

Give the output GPX a name and save/copy to your GPS. If it's connected, you can browse to the Garmin/GPX folder and save it directly to the device. This single GPX file now has the contents of all the multiple files you loaded earlier.
