GPX Export
Roadtrippers Plus members can create GPX exports of waypoints and routes.
What is a GPX export and how can you use it from Roadtrippers?
A GPX file saves GPS data in GPS Exchange format (.GPX), which is an open standard used by many GPS programs. GPX files from Roadtrippers share your waypoint longitude, latitude, name, and address plus the route you created for your trip.
Exporting your trip in a GPX file allows you to view your route exactly as you planned it on Roadtrippers on other GPS apps and devices. Compatibility may vary by device or app.
Roadtrippers Plus members and trip collaborators with Plus accounts can create a GPX export of trips planned on Roadtrippers.
