Conversion Formula

Track simplification removes redundant points, often using a tolerance-based line simplification algorithm.

Examples

  • Reduce a large GPX file size
  • Simplify a GPS recording before upload
  • Remove unnecessary points from a route

Frequently Asked Questions

Will simplification change the route?

It can slightly change the route shape depending on the selected tolerance.

Why simplify a GPX file?

Simplifying can reduce file size and improve compatibility with GPS devices and map apps.

Can I control the accuracy?

Yes. A lower tolerance keeps more detail, while a higher tolerance removes more points.
