About The Project

eGPX was designed to optimize performance for exchangable GPX files. It is fully inspired by the original GPX specification which is an XML based exchange format for geopositional data.

However, the XML part of GPX leads to a lot of boilerplate and inefficient use of available storage on devices which already have a lot less of it than is common on modern Smartphones or Computers.

The Foretrex 601 for example only has 8MB of available memory for storing tracks. A 500km track requires ~1.6MB of storage using the GPX format, this drastically limits the number of checkpoints that can be stored making it unappealing for longer routes.

A site like CyclersHub.com needs to store a lot of user submitted tracks, eGPX can improve GPX file size by up to 7 times, thus saving prescious space in their database!

Getting Started

This repo comes with a pre-built eGPX parser. Simply run:

npm install
tsc build

and run the example with:

node example.js
