Temporary Change to GPX Schema Location
Oct 13, 2023 - HTTP requests for the GPX 1.1 schema are temporarily being 301-redirected to HTTPS. This is being done to surface any issues with GPX implementations or validation procedures that rely on the schema living at a fixed location. If your product or validation process has been impacted by this change, please let us know, either via the GPX Developers Mailing List, or by contacting Dan Foster directly.
What is GPX?
GPX (the GPS Exchange Format) is a light-weight XML data format for the interchange of GPS data (waypoints, routes, and tracks) between applications and Web services on the Internet.
Current Status
The GPX 1.1 schema was released on August 9, 2004. GPX has been the de-facto XML standard for lightweight interchange of GPS data since the initial GPX 1.0 release in 2002. GPX is being used by hundreds of software programs and Web services for GPS data exchange, mapping, and geocaching.
