This is a small tool to edit GPX files. There are a number of tools that I periodically need to create my own GPS Tracks and export them in a single GPX file, such as: cut, split, reverse, add time, correct elevation... and always need more than one single tool to do this!

The single goal of this application is to load, visualize and edit your GPX files to create your custom track.

There are amazing tools to create tracks from scratch: komoot, strava... But no GPX editor matches my necessities at 100%.

This project is being improved or maintained. A web version is being developed as an alternative: TrackEditorWeb

• bin: executable files
• docs: design documents
• src: source code
• test: test cases for src modules
• Dockerfile
• docker_compose.yml
• requirements.txt: list of python packages dependencies

Option 1 Download your executable from bin/

Note: windows users will need to be uncompress using 7z and execute track_editor.exe file

Option 2 Clone full code and launch it with python

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 track_editor.py

Option 3 Use the docker image

A window in which you can load GPX files will be open, like this:

A Dockerfile is provided to execute the application in a controlled environment. It is suggested to be used in a Linux environment, since x-server must be configured to get the GUI. In order to have visibility of your file system a volume from /home/${USER}/Desktop (host) to /home/Desktop (guest) is created. Procedure:

docker build -t track_editor_im:1.0 .
xhost +
docker-compose up -d

Note: if docker-compose is launched with sudo the docker-compose.yml should be modified. The ${USER} variable would be set to root which may be confusing when using the volumes. This can be debug by using docker-compose config
