Merge GPX files into 1?

[Sgt_Strider]

So I set my Garmin 62S unit to record a coordinate every 1 second. As a result, in one day I've accumulated several GPX files. How can I merge all the files seamlessly into 1 file? This way when I examine the merged file, I'll see one continuous source of coordinates and that I won't notice there the Garmin unit initially cut and created a subsequent GPX file.

 

Thanks!

If they are in the form of a track, then MapSource can merge tracks in any order, end-to-end.

 

If not a track, GPS Babel can convert waypoints or routes to tracks and back again. Bit cumbersome, but possible.

This works for geocache and waypoint files from a Pocket Query, maybe it will work for that which you desire:

 

To do it manually, open the -wpts.gpx file with your text editor of choice. Highlight and copy everything from the first <wpt tag to the bottom of the file, including the </gpx> tag.

 

Open the main .gpx file with your text editor of choice. Go to the bottom of the file and delete the </gpx> tag. Paste what you copied from the -wpts.gpx file. Save the file as whatever name .gpx file you want. Manually copy it to your GPS.

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand you. What do you mean by in the form of a track? I uploaded a file to Gpsvisualizer and it showed multiple tracks in the GPX file.

@ Sgt Strider,

You asked how to merge GPX FILES ,,,,,,,and "they" are answering how they would merge different DATA WITHIN a single GPX file. Different animals.....

 

I use Expert GPS by Topografix to merge GPX files all the time for keeping a "Master" file of data contained within multiple individual GPX files.

Seems you asked and answered your question in the same post?

 

Here's an illustrated webpage discussing track editing: Edit the Tracks in MapSource

 

May clear the fog?

EasyGPS still does, but you have to treat them as 'Import Geocaches' from the File menu, and selecting the GPX file (one at a time) you want to add.. The older versions of EasyGPS used to include a "Merge GPX Files" in the File menu, but for some reason, it was never re-included.
