How to Analyze Your GPX Track as a Beginner

Analyzing a GPX track may seem complicated at first, but with the right tools, it’s very straightforward. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process step by step.

What is a GPX track?

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

Step 1: Import your file

On Segly, simply drag and drop your GPX file onto the homepage. 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 beginners, the key points mode is the most intuitive.

Step 3: Review the results

Once the analysis starts, you’ll get the segmented elevation profile, statistics for each segment (elevation gain, distance, average gradient), and an overall summary.

Simple, fast, and effective!
