Exporting Data
Industry-Standard Data Export
Export trail data in formats that integrate directly with GIS systems, CAD software, and municipal databases. Trail routes export as geoJSON, GTX, KML, and TCX files. Point data exports as CSV, geoJSON, JSON, or KML for seamless integration with ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD, and other professional mapping platforms.
Routes Export Formats:
- GeoJSON — A lightweight, JSON-based format that's widely supported by web mapping libraries and GIS applications, making it ideal for web-based trail visualization.
- GPX — The standard format for GPS devices and fitness apps, containing track points with elevation and timestamp data that's perfect for importing into Garmin, Strava, or other outdoor apps.
- KML — Google's mapping format that works seamlessly with Google Earth and Google Maps, allowing users to view routes in 3D terrain or share via Google's ecosystem.
- TCX — Garmin's Training Center XML format, specifically designed for fitness tracking with detailed workout metrics like heart rate zones and performance data.
POI Export Formats:
- JSON — A simple, structured text format that's easy to parse programmatically and ideal for developers who want to integrate POI data into their own applications.
- CSV — The universal spreadsheet format that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, perfect for non-technical users who want to edit or analyze POI data in familiar tools.
- GeoJSON — Same as routes - a web-friendly format that displays POI markers perfectly in mapping applications and websites.
- KML — Allows POIs to appear as placemarks in Google Earth with custom icons, descriptions, and the ability to organize into folders for easy navigation.
