Frequently asked questions
Does reversing keep the times of the track?
A reversed recorded track no longer has meaningful times; to plan the trip use the estimated times of the planning tools, which work for both directions.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Editing happens in your browser and the files stay on your device. They only go to the cloud if you add them to a shared project.
Is it free? Do I need to install anything?
Yes, GPXTools is free and has no ads. It works in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone, without installing anything, and it can also be installed as an app.
