Feature
GPX in, GPX out
Bring a route or a recorded activity into Waypath, then take every activity back out as a standard GPX file. Your data should move with you.
Export
Any activity, as a GPX file
Open an activity and export it. The file is a standard GPX 1.1 track: one track with one segment of points, each carrying latitude, longitude, elevation and its own timestamp. That is the universal interchange format, so it loads into Strava, Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, a coach's software or a folder you keep yourself.
The export is the full recording from your device, not the trimmed version used for public sharing. It is your copy of your run.
Import
Bring a GPX file into Waypath
Apple Health
Waypath imports past workouts from Health, which is how most people arrive with a history rather than an empty app. Anything that writes to Health, including a Garmin or a Coros through their own apps, can reach Waypath this way.
GPX routes
Add a GPX from Routes or open one from Files. A track without timestamps becomes a route you can name, save and follow while you record.
Recorded GPX activities
A GPX track with usable timestamps can be imported as a past activity, with its route, distance, elevation and time preserved.
Why it matters
No lock-in, on purpose
An app that makes leaving expensive is telling you something about how it expects to keep you. Waypath keeps activities on your phone, exports them in an open format, and lets you delete the lot. The reason to stay should be that the app is good.
Your data, in a format anyone can read.
Free unlimited recording, GPX export on every activity, and no cost to leave.
Requires iPhone. Recording is free and unlimited. Premium adds the deeper analysis.
