How to View .GPX files

[Norry1]

I'm sure this must be easy - but I don't know how to take a .GPX file that is sent to me and view it on one of the Apps.

I've tried ridewithGPS, Strava and Garmin Connect but I can't see anywhere how to do it..

Can someone advise please.

You need a different app. I use gpx viewer on Android.

Or.
Save your GPX file to Desktop..... open Strava main page....'Upload activity. (cross at top right of screen).......click 'File' then..... 'Choose File'....Desktop...double click the GPX file..

Hope that helps.

That would work if it was an activity - but it is just a route.

This is how I do it. I have had no difficulty at all when using it this way.
Download Tyretotravel software. Basic features are free to use. That is enough to download GPx files and upload the files in to your garmin or TomTom. I use the basic free one.
Once you install it in your PC, and download any GPx file, your PC will automatically select that programme to open GPx files.
If it doesn't and keep asking you how to open, ask the PC to use tyre.
There are very good YouTube clips if you are stuck on how to use Tyretotravel.
But I think tyre is not available as an app to use on your smartphone. For that use GPx viewer as suggested. It works fine.
