What the file carries
The GPX file for Germany: the whole map comes as a single file, the file is plain text and opens in any editor, there are no layers: the kind of object is set by its geometry, OpenStreetMap tags are kept as feature attributes.
File size
The expected size of the GPX file for Germany is about 33.5 MB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.
GPX file passport
Estimated from the place's OSM data; exact figures are in the file after the build.
- Road segments <trk>: ≈ 5 173 484 (estimated)
- Road length: 1 034 697 km
- Roads by class, km: residential 302 066, service 282 883, unclassified 141 151, tertiary 108 182, secondary 95 370
- Area outlines <trk>: ≈ 438 632
Losses: no routing graph — 1 034 697 km of roads are plain lines; no fills or styles — area features (438 632) become closed tracks; not in the file: Buildings 22 464 175, Points of interest 4 562 679.
Build recipe: GPX 1.1, WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), 6 decimal places in coordinates, frame 640 × 866 km, simplification tolerance 334 m; points → <wpt>, lines and outlines → <trk>.
How it is built in the file
The longest road line of Germany as one OSM segment is Panzerringstraße: 22.6 km, nodes (vertices) — 352. In GPX every node becomes a trkpt track point — 352 of them. If the line extends beyond the place frame, only part of it is in the file. The line starts in WGS84 (EPSG:4326) at latitude 49.63962, longitude 11.77022.

FAQ: GPX for Germany
Can I load GPX into a Garmin?
Yes, via Garmin BaseCamp or by copying the file directly to the device.
Is GPX suitable for cycling routes?
Yes, GPX is the standard format for Strava, Komoot, Wahoo.
What happens to buildings and area features?
Polygons are exported as outlines: every closed shape becomes a track. There are no fills or areas in GPX — the format only knows points, tracks and routes.
Are elevations included in the file?
No. The exporter writes only latitude and longitude; the elevation field of a point is left empty. Applications usually build the elevation profile themselves from their own terrain model.
Can I ride such a GPX with voice prompts?
A track shows a line on the screen, but it is not a route with maneuvers. The prompts are built by the navigator itself as it plots a route from its own data; the GPX is a guide line for it.
