About GPX Route Workbench & methodology

How GPX Route Workbench works, which inputs it supports, what its results mean and where its limits apply.

GPX Route Workbench

Clean up route files while keeping the difference between recorded data and assumptions visible. Inspect gaps, protect selected endpoints, and download real edited files without an account or external map service.

How we build a check

This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
