GPX Export

I love apps like these: Do one thing. Do it well. No frills. No bloat. One thing I’d like to see is an activity type filter. I’m exporting hiking activities, and they’re hard to find amongst all of my other activities (walking, cycling, etc) that I do way more of.

I exported gpx data and viewed it in Google maps. It looked correct to me. The data exactly matches the data exported directly from the Apple health app so this looks like an exactly correct export other than the health app adding a bit of metadata that doesn’t look important. And this app seemed to export the gps coordinates with more numeric precision than the health app!

I downloaded this because I couldn’t get an Apple Watch Hike to sync with Strava, which normally works fine, but we were out of service for basically 2 days and I think that messed it up. Was happy to find a free utility to do this but the distance is .8 miles more than what my watch recorded and the splits are super wrong. Def no 9:26m miles on this scenic hike, all of them were at least 20 min and some were as much as an hour because I just left it running while we took photos and explored around each waterfall. I would say it needs an update but it’s a free app released 4 years ago and the only one by this dev. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
