How to merge multiple GPX tracks into a single file?
Sometimes your sports memories are contained in multiple files.
An outing recorded in two parts because your watch stopped. A raid broken down into stages. Several loops recorded separately. A weekend where each day has its own file.
These files tell the same story, but they remain separate.
Our merge tool allows you to combine them into a single GPX track.
What is trace merging used for?
Merging multiple traces means combining routes that belong together into a single file.
The result is a unique GPX file that you can save, share, or use to create a customized topographical relief on which all your traces appear together.
Each route is preserved as is. No artificial line connects two distant traces: if your outings take place in different locations, they remain distinct within the same file.
When is it useful?
Some common situations:
- more than three files to combine, beyond the three traces that the configurator directly imports;
- a multi-day raid or hike, with one file per stage;
- an outing cut in two due to a break or battery issue;
- multiple loops around the same location that you want to combine;
- an event where you and your loved ones each have your own trace.
In all these cases, a single file is simpler to handle than a handful of scattered files.
How does the tool work?
The GPX track merger tool aims to be as straightforward as possible.
1. Add your GPX files
You can select multiple files at once, or drag and drop them into the window. Each added track appears in a list, with its name and distance.
If you don't yet know how to retrieve your files, our guides detail how to export from Strava, Garmin Connect, and Komoot.
2. Check the list
You can remove a track added by mistake and give a name to the merged track.
3. Retrieve the result
You have two options:
- download the merged GPX file, to save it or use it elsewhere;
- send it directly to the 3D configurator, to transform all your tracks into a relief.
Merge to create a relief
The Epic Trace configurator accepts up to three traces for import.
Merging allows you to go beyond that: by combining your files into a single trace beforehand, you can display more routes on the same relief.
Once the merged track is sent to the configurator, you choose the area, generate the three-dimensional model, and then place an order if you like the result.
To understand the entire process, our guide explains how to transform a GPX trace into a personalized topographical relief.
Your data remains yours
Merging takes place directly in your browser.
Your files are not needed elsewhere to get the result: you add your tracks, the tool combines them, and you retrieve the merged file.
One file, one adventure
Multiple disciplines. Multiple stages. Multiple days.
A single track to unite them, and, if you wish, a single relief to tell their story.
