What is GPXTrack.xyz?
GPXTrack.xyz turns a GPS activity into a small display piece. You drag a GPX file from Strava, Garmin or another tracker onto the page, and it draws your route as a raised 3D line standing on a base with a text plate for a title such as a race name or date.
The controls are short: title text and font size, map rotation, a truncate slider to trim the ends of the track, base width and thickness, maximum track height, and an option for a slanted text plate. Color pickers are only for the preview, so you assign filaments in your slicer if you want a two color print. The result downloads as a 3MF.
Everything runs in your browser, so the GPX never leaves your computer, and the project is free and open source. It is a small tool, but it is a quick way to make a finisher gift for a runner or cyclist.
