GPX to KML Converter

The GPX to KML Converter processes GPX input and outputs a KML document or KMZ package that can be loaded into Google Earth and other GIS viewers. It preserves tracks, routes, and waypoints, along with timestamps when available, and optionally includes metadata.
Conceptually, the tool reads GPX XML, extracts coordinate sequences and metadata, reconstitutes them in KML structures with Placemark and LineString elements, and formats timestamps in ISO 8601. It keeps coordinates in decimal degrees and can apply a user selected precision to coordinates.
Beneficiaries include outdoor enthusiasts organizing trips, researchers comparing routes, urban planners modeling pathways, and developers building mapping pipelines. Typical use cases are quick visual verification of GPX data, sharing a route as KML with teammates, or integrating into GIS workflows without manual reformatting.
Unique value lies in fidelity controls, selective data inclusion, and optional KMZ packaging. Core features include a GPX parser, a structural mapper, a timestamp formatter, precision control, and error reporting. Use cases cover personal planning, field data collection, and lightweight data exchange between GPS apps.
