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.

Strumento ed etichette sono in italiano. Le note di riferimento restano in inglese.

Ti serve un tecnico CAD/BIM certificato per modificare questo file?

TaskBider drafters, detailers and BIM coordinators work remotely and every listing shows the pay. Typical published range for this work: $18–$45/hr.

Passo per passo

  1. 1Drop the .kml file above. (For a .kmz, unzip it first and use the doc.kml inside.)
  2. 2Download the .gpx and load it onto your GPS unit, or into QGIS, Civil 3D or a survey app.
  3. 3Check that single points arrived as waypoints and paths as tracks — that mapping is what most GPS units expect.
  4. 4Confirm the coordinate system on import: KML is always WGS 84, so reproject if your drawing is in a local grid.

A cosa fare attenzione

  • 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.

GPXGPS Exchange Format

The open XML format GPS units and survey apps use for waypoints and tracks.

Domande dei disegnatori

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.

Paid to draft, model or coordinate?
