GPX library for PHP

What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is a de facto standard file format for sharing GPS tracks in the travel/adventure/overland circles. The library contains a GPX reader and writer allowing you to easily work with GPX files in PHP applications.

What is GPX used for? In general its a common format to share routes and tracks recorded by GPS devices. While travelling you can keep recording your current location with your GPS device and then export that track in the GPX format to other software or share it with others.

More information about the GPX format: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS\_Exchange\_Format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format)
