Convert KML to GPX in your browser
Both formats are open XML in WGS 84, so this is a direct, honest rewrite done on your machine: Google Earth placemarks become GPX waypoints, and paths become tracks with elevation kept where it exists.

TaskBider drafters, detailers and BIM coordinators work remotely and every listing shows the pay. Typical published range for this work: $18–$45/hr.
Paso a paso
- 1Drop the .kml file above. (For a .kmz, unzip it first and use the doc.kml inside.)
- 2Download the .gpx and load it onto your GPS unit, or into QGIS, Civil 3D or a survey app.
- 3Check that single points arrived as waypoints and paths as tracks — that mapping is what most GPS units expect.
- 4Confirm the coordinate system on import: KML is always WGS 84, so reproject if your drawing is in a local grid.
Aspectos a tener en cuenta
- Styling, icons, descriptions and polygons have no GPX equivalent: names, coordinates and elevations are what carry across.
- Polygon rings arrive as tracks rather than closed areas, because GPX has no polygon type.
- Very large KML exports are fine here — the work is local, so there is no upload limit.
Google Earth's XML format for points, paths and polygons in WGS 84 coordinates.
The open XML format GPS units and survey apps use for waypoints and tracks.
Preguntas de delineantes
Can it read KMZ files?
Not directly. KMZ is a zipped KML; unzip it and drop the doc.kml.
Are elevations preserved?
Yes, where the KML carries a third coordinate value it is written as <ele> in the GPX.
