File formats

August 27, 2015

In addition to standardized formats, Furkot exports trip data in a variety of proprietary formats compatible with GPS devices and navigation apps.

Following formats are currently supported:

File Format	Description	Github project	File Content
`.gpx`	GPS eXchange format	furkot-gpx	Stops, routes, tracks. Garmin symbols for stops. Stop addresses as Garmin GPX extensions
`.gpx`	Garmin route GPX	furkot-gpx	Stops, routes, tracks. Garmin-specific data as above. Travel parameters as Garmin route extension
`.kml`	KML 2.2 file	furkot-kml	Stops, routes, tracks. Compatible with Google Maps and Google Earth
`.ov2`	TomTom overlay file	furkot-tomtom-ov2	Stops only; no routes, no tracks
`.trp`	CoPilot trip	furkot-copilot	Stops and/or routes; no tracks. Trips with multiple daily routes exported as `.zip` files containing one `.trp` file for each route

If the file format that your GPS device or navigation app supports is currently under development you can help us test it - email us, if you are interested.
