Major mode for GPX files
gpx.el
Package that provides a major mode for viewing [GPX] files.
The major mode displays .gpx files in a human readable format. When
the major mode is active, the buffer displays various statistics about
the file and lists all the tracks/segments found in the file.
The displayed information includes total length, time of start/end,
average speed, max speed, etc.
It also supports drawing the routes found in the file. You can click
on a button below a track and it will open a web browser showing that
route on a map.
You can also display elevation profile for each track. To do that,
click on the [Toggle elevation profile] button below a track, this will
insert the elevation profile image below the track.
Installation
You need to install [gpxinfo] program in order to convert the files.
Additionally, if you want to be able to draw the routes on a map, in
the default way, you need to install [folium]. See Configuration
section below for alternatives.
In order to display elevation profiles, you need to install
[matplotlib] Python library.
These dependencies can be installed on Debian-based systems with:
sudo apt-get install gpxinfo python3-folium python3-matplotlib
You can also install them via pip:
pip install gpx-cmd-tools folium matplotlib
Configuration
If you want to show the routes inside of Emacs instead of a browser, you can
use [osm] and do:
(require 'osm)
(defun gpx-show-map-osm (file _track _segment)
(osm-gpx-show file))
(setq gpx-show-map-function #'gpx-show-map-osm)
Also, see the documentation of various ``gpx-*-function`` variables for more
configuration options.
