The record

Purpose: GPXSee is a GPS log file viewer and analyzer that supports common GPS log file formats.
File formats: It opens GPS tracks and related data in formats including GPX, TCX, FIT, KML, NMEA, IGC, GeoJSON, Garmin, TomTom, and geotagged media formats.
Maps: It supports user-definable online maps and many offline map formats.
Graphs: It can display elevation, speed, heart rate, cadence, power, temperature, and gear ratio or shifts graphs.
Export: It supports printing and exporting to PNG and PDF.
Positioning: It can show real-time GPS position using the Qt positioning API, subject to configuring a positioning plugin.
Integrations: Some online map definitions require API keys or user credentials; those template files must be completed and renamed before use.
Intended scope: The project describes GPXSee as a small, fast GPS data and map viewer, and says it is not full-featured GIS software.
Security: The official Windows and Mac installers are signed during the GitHub build using self-signed certificates stored in the Git repository; users may need to configure their OS to accept them.
Android limitation: On Android, multi-file maps and SQLite-based map formats may not load properly from the application menu and should be placed in GPXSee's map directory.
Support: The project asks users to report bugs and request features through its GitHub issue tracker.
Downloads: The project provides Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android builds, and also publishes source code.
Price from: Free
