In other words, it allows the exchange of <strong>GPS coordinates<\/strong> by sharing them as a file, which can be <strong>imported<\/strong> into a <strong>GPS application<\/strong>. To read this format, you will need to download an <strong>application<\/strong> allowing it to be opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have downloaded the app, all you need to do is import your <strong>GPX file<\/strong> stored in your device. Your phone will then display your <strong>position<\/strong> and allow you to follow your <strong>progress<\/strong> in <strong>real time<\/strong> against the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to download a GPX file on smartphone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Download the GPX Viewer app : free and easy to use.
