This is a simple python library for parsing and manipulating GPX files. GPX is an XML based format for GPS tracks.
You can see it in action on my online GPS track editor and organizer.
import gpxpy.parser as parser
gpx_file = open( 'test_files/cerknicko-jezero.gpx', 'r' )
gpx_parser = parser.GPXParser( gpx_file )
gpx_parser.parse()
gpx_file.close()
gpx = gpx_parser.get_gpx()
for track in gpx.tracks:
for segment in track.segments:
for point in segment.points:
print 'Point at ({0},{1}) -> {2}'.format( point.latitude, point.longitude, point.elevation )
for waypoint in gpx.waypoints:
print 'waypoint {0} -> ({1},{2})'.format( waypoint.name, waypoint.latitude, waypoint.longitude )
for route in gpx.routes:
print 'Route:'
for point in route:
print 'Point at ({0},{1}) -> {2}'.format( point.latitude, point.longitude, point.elevation )
# There are more utility methods and functions...
# You can manipulate/add/remove tracks, segments, points, waypoints and routes and
# get the GPX XML file from the resulting object:
print 'GPX:', gpx.to_xml()
