GPX Viewer

Descripción

Displays a GPX track as segmented polylines, the way points and the elevation profile.
Open Street Map (OSM) is used as background which can be switched between a plane view and a topographic one.
The view can be changed to full screen mode. Moving the cursor over the elevation profile the corresponding point is marked on the path interactively.

GPX tracks uploaded to the server in advance are stored into separate repositories that are ordered according to the categories setup in wordpress.
Thus different collections of tracks can be handled and the tracks choosen from.

During upload a GPX track can be smoothed and/or its elevation data replaced by Open-Elevation Service data.
The latter is provided because many elevation data tracked by mobiles are not quite correct.

GPX trackpoints can be edited on the map interactively.

Great plugin, does exactly what it’s supposed to. From me, it’s 4 stars. If there are no security issues, it’s a solid 5-star rating. @ Alex How about the code quality here? I’ve installed Wordfence on my project and after 3 hours, a security notice popped up indicating that the file had changed. No malicious code can be injected here, right? I look forward to your feedback 😀 Filename: /…/…/…/wp-content/plugins/gpx-viewer/js/gpxCleaner.js Message Wordfence: This file belongs to plugin «GPX Viewer» version «2.2.5» and has been modified from the file that is distributed by WordPress.org for this version. Please use the link to see how the file has changed. If you have modified this file yourself, you can safely ignore this warning. If you see a lot of changed files in a plugin that have been made by the author, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to force an upgrade. Doing this is a workaround for plugin authors who don’t manage their code correctly.

This plugin has great potential to become a full running statistics for WP Idea: – Week, month and year state – Maybe something like citystrides.com (were you run all the streets in a city) – Sotering at various clubs and or areas

This plugin is just what I’ve been looking for and does the job well. Just a few points, firstly the full-screen mode doesn’t seem to work with Safari browser (you get a black screen), although it seems fine with every other browser I’ve tried, secondly, I’ve had to add a css statement .content { width:100%; } to get the table to float alongside the graph on Safari. These are probably Safari quirks rather than problems with the plugin. One other thing: I’d like a way to display the Author of the GPX file, to give them credit for it. Apart from those issues, I really like this plugin very much.
