What is GPX file?

The GPX file extension, also known as the GPS Exchange Format, is a type of file used to store data from Global Positioning System (GPS) devices. It is an open standard format primarily used for geospatial data, and is the most commonly accepted and preferred file type when working with data from GPS devices. GPX files can contain waypoints, tracks, and routes for transferring navigation data among different GPS devices and software programs. [ ⏩ ] GPX file extension

How to convert the file from ASCII to GPX?

To successfully convert the ASCII file to GPX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ASCII). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case GPX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than GPX).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ASCII to GPX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting ASCII files to GPX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension GPX, while before this step we had the ASCII file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new GPX file, or not.
