About GPX and ITN files
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of where you have been on your track, including any
off-road locations. GPX files become tracks after import.
Using GPX files
There are several things you can do with your GPX file:
Use a tool such as Tyre Pro to view your track file.

Export to a memory card or directly to your computer, then use your computer to view the file

using software such as Google Earth.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not
always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your device
tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Secondly, your
device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where
you've been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you
view the recording may have the maps misaligned.
Share the file with friends by exporting it.
