GPXSee is a Qt-based GPS log file viewer and analyzer that supports GPX, TCX, KML, FIT, IGC and NMEA files.

• User-definable map sources.
• Elevation, speed, heart rate, cadence, power and temperature graphs.
• Support for multiple tracks in one view.
• Support for POI files.
• Export to PDF.
• Full-screen mode.

To load user defined map source tiles you need to create a maps.txt in "/home/user/.gpxsee"
or versions >=5.6 a mapname.xml in "/home/user/.gpxsee/maps.
When you downloading many tiles take care of your free memory maybe make a symlink ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/maps/tiles home/user/.gpxsee/tiles same technic apply accordingly for offline maps.

Therefore you need to create the folder ".gpxsee" make sure everyone has write and read access (chmod 777).

maps.txt example for openstreetmaps until maemo gpxsee version 4.16:
Version >= 5.6 the map file is in xml format.
For additional map sources you can have a look here https://github.com/tumic0/GPXSee-maps

GPXSee is in extras-devel repository.
Or you can find it on openrepos.

For further shortcuts open keyboard controls from the application menu.
Menu entries beginning with "->" will go to another menu.
Menu entries ending with "..." will open a dialog.

With a mouse right click (long tap) you can change the units (metric/imperial), the axis (distance/time) and you can choose the map source.

If you have more gpx files in the opening folder, you can switch between them with ctrl+left and ctrl+right.

Zooming works when the map is active with the volume buttons. You could also use a mouse double click.
Since version 5.13 you could use "o"-key and "l"-key for zooming and in the last zoom step whit shift+o and shift+l you will have digital zooming.


Support for the last released version:

GPX, TCX, FIT, KML, IGC, NMEA, OziExplorer (PLT, RTE, WPT) and Garmin CSV

• GPS data
• Heart rate
• Cadence
• Power
• Temperature
• Gear ratio/shifts (Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap)

Have a look in the coding competition thread for happy voting.

Using this map:
Hike&Bike http://a.tiles.wmflabs.org/hikebike/$z/$x/$y.png

the map does not display until one moves the slippy map around then the off-screen part is seen as "painted" and you can then do enough movements to get the map displayed.

OpenTopo https://a.tile.opentopomap.org/$z/$x/$y.png

does not display at all, even though the URL works in browser. See for eg. https://a.tile.opentopomap.org/14/8695/5583.png

Looks good.

Thank you for trying. So you see your track on a white background and when you are moving the map, tiles get loaded in principle with a shift to your track?
It could be that there is already a commit on git about some correction for the tiles calculation. Will see if I can reproduce this behavior until now never observed this.


Yes I had the same experience, it seems that https is not supported I will have a look into it.

That's exactly what I miss on my jolla. Could someone port this ?!

As best I can see, there is no shift to the track. Unless I misunderstand you.

I guess problems related to tiles were already downstream fixed. So I uploaded a new version and it has free scrolling of the map now.

And yes there is a ssl handshake problem. It seems that I need to implement a ssl-socket connection. Never did this before so now it is time for reading and learning.

I would like to port the application to SFOS but I don't know qml.
And this application is not good for beginners to start convert from qwidget to qml. Anyway it would take ages because I need to learn.

On SFOS I have running qtwidget application but there is no good support like rotating an application and as far as I know there is no gl support. I can have a look if it is worth to port and to stick with widgets but I guess it would be a bad performance, it is not maemo....

It works now, a little bit slow but it works.
Was much easier than I thought .. sooo qt. Hence a new version on his way.

Seven years later,

Now if I could just work out why I cannot get maps.txt to work...

I have a check list for you.

- check folder and file permission
- between Map1 and http check if there is really a tabulator.
- file should be unix utf8 encoding
- check if internet is working
- try to toggle the map on and off with ctrl+m
