GPX data analysis

This repository contains some Python test code to analyze and visualize GPX data. GPX (GPS Exchange Format) is an XML based file format for GPS tracks, and is widely used by dozens of software programs and web services for GPS data analysis and visualization.

Prerequisites:

Data manipulation is done using gpxpy, a GPX parser for Python, and the NumPy and Pandas data analysis packages for Python. Visualization is done using matplotlib, mplleaflet, gmplot and folium.

Analysis:

This repository contains two analyses of some example GPX running data (see data directory) in the form of Python Jupyter Notebooks that are best viewed online using Jupyter nbviewer, which has improved display rendering capabilities compared to Github:

1. Single file: GPX_analysis_singlefile.ipynb
2. Multiple files: GPX_analysis_multiplefiles.ipynb

Results:

The analyses produce the following leaflet maps:

1. Single file:
   • mplleaflet_map.html
   • folium_map.html
2. Multiple files:
   • gmplot_heatmap.html
   • folium_heatmap.html
