How to reduce a GPX file
- Open the GPX file.
- Choose a maximum number of points (e.g. 500 for older Garmins) or an accuracy in metres.
- Compare the result (red) with the original (blue) on the map, plus points, file size and maximum deviation.
- Download the reduced file.
How does it work?
GPX-Werkstatt uses the Douglas–Peucker algorithm: points lying almost on a straight line between their neighbours are removed, while curves and junctions are kept.
