For GPS Maps in GPX Format

Most of the GPS maps at TravelByGPS.com are published in the GPs eXchange (.gpx) file format, and authored using ExpertGPS software.

 

Expert GPS - Use ExpertGPS for viewing GPX files and transferring data to/from your GPS. ExpertGPS includes topo maps and aerial photos for the United States. Use ExpertGPS to manage all your waypoint and track data. Compatible with most all data file formats and GPS brands.

Google Earth - GPX files can be opened with Google Earth software. Google Earth includes street maps and satellite images for most of the globe, but Google does not always show Travel By GPS maps as intended and the free version of Google Earth will not transfer data to your GPS.

  • Click here for free Google Earth Software.

RECOMENDATION: Use ExpertGPS software to convert GPX to KML format for use with Google Earth. The result is global map coverage with Google Earth showing the proper labels and descriptions, plus you get the utility of ExpertGPS for transferring data to/from your GPS.
