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 o 6535 n 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()
