FAQ: GPX for Chitipa
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.
