What It Is

GPX.sh is a web platform for GPX files, positioned around “storing, editing, viewing, and sharing GPS tracks.” Built around the open GPX 1.1 standard, it is suited to hikers, cyclists, trail runners, runners, and travelers who need to manage route files from GPS devices or fitness apps. Recipients can view an interactive map in the browser via a link and download the original GPX file without registering.

Core Capabilities

The product provides a cloud file library where users can upload, search, sort, and manage files with pagination, while also displaying storage quotas. The viewer supports street, satellite, and outdoor map styles, along with light/dark themes, unit switching, mobile touch controls, and location tracking. The editor is the standout feature: it can edit tracks, routes, waypoints, and metadata, and supports track trimming, splitting, merging, reversing, point dragging, partial deletion, track simplification, and advanced field editing for routes and waypoints. Users can also create GPX files from scratch or import elements from other GPX files.

Pricing

Pricing is straightforward: the free plan includes 100MB of storage, a 2MB single-file limit, and all core features. Premium costs €4/month or €40/year, increasing storage to 300MB and the single-file limit to 5MB, while adding priority email support and mobile app access. Custom plans are also available by contacting the team. Payments and subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are that it is lightweight, easy to learn, and focused in functionality, while the free plan does not restrict editing or sharing capabilities. Because it is based on the open GPX format, it also reduces the risk of data lock-in. The drawbacks are also clear: storage limits are small, only GPX is supported, and KML/TCX/FIT files require external conversion. Sharing permissions are fairly basic, there is no way to view visitors, and stopping sharing requires deleting the file. There is also no visible support for team collaboration, role-based permissions, APIs, audit logs, or enterprise-grade management.

Who It’s For

It is better suited to individual outdoor enthusiasts, route organizers, and small community sharing scenarios. It is less suitable for enterprise customers that need multi-member collaboration, complex permissions, security auditing, or large-scale track asset management.

Access in China

The main content does not provide information about access from mainland China, ICP filing, or domestic nodes. In addition, the maps rely on third-party services such as Mapbox and Google Maps, so actual availability needs to be tested. For now, access is rated as unknown.
