How to download a GPX file
A GPX file is just a small text file with your route's coordinates — every major cycling, running, and hiking app can export one. Here's how to get a GPX file from the most popular routing apps so you can preview it in Google Street View with this extension.
How to export a GPX from Strava
For a route you built in Strava's Route Builder:
- Open the route at strava.com/routes.
- Click the route to open it, then click Export GPX in the right-hand panel.
- The .gpx file downloads straight to your computer.
For an activity you already recorded:
- Open the activity on strava.com (GPX export isn't available from the mobile app).
- Click the … (more options) menu in the top right of the activity page.
- Select Export GPX.
How to export a GPX from Komoot
- Open the tour on komoot.com or in the Komoot app.
- Tap the … (more) menu on the tour page.
- Tap Export as GPX.
Completed tours can be exported by anyone; exporting a planned route before you've ridden it may require a Komoot Premium plan.
