GPX workflow
From GPX to 3D map: how a route becomes a physical piece.
The product starts with your GPX data. That file provides the route geometry, the activity context, and the foundation for a terrain-based physical object.
If you want a clear explanation of what it means to turn a GPX route into a custom 3D map, this is the page built for that search intent.
Why does GPX matter?
A GPX file preserves the route geometry and makes it possible to represent the path with much more fidelity than a manual description. That matters when the object is meant to preserve a specific route.
Where can GPX files come from?
Most users export from platforms such as Strava or Garmin, but any valid GPX export is useful if it captures the route accurately.
What if I do not have a GPX file?
You can still start with manual route details. That works for early configuration, even though the strongest result comes from a complete track file.
FAQ
Quick answers before you configure the piece.
Do I need a perfect GPX file?add
Not necessarily, but a clean and complete file helps produce a more faithful representation of the route.
Can I start without uploading a file?add
Yes. The configurator also accepts manual route data, although GPX remains the preferred input when available.
