How to analyse your GPX track as a beginner

Analysing a GPX track may seem complex at first, but with the right tools it is very accessible. In this article, we will guide you step by step.

What is a GPX track?

A GPX file (GPS Exchange Format) is a standard GPS data format that records your route: latitude, longitude, altitude and timestamp for each point.

Step 1: Import your file

On Segly, simply drag and drop your GPX file onto the home page. No account is required, and your data remains completely private.

Step 2: Choose the segmentation mode

Segly offers several modes: by key points, by slope, by fixed distance, or by elevation gain. For a beginner, the key points mode is the most intuitive.

Step 3: Read the results

Once the analysis is launched, you get the segmented elevation profile, statistics per segment (elevation gain, distance, average slope) and an overall summary.

Simple, fast and efficient!
