Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP GPX Maps

No. OpenStreetMap, Humanitarian, Hike & Bike and OpenSeaMap work without a key. The Thunderforest maps need a free Thunderforest API key. MapBox styles and 3D terrain need your own MapBox access token: when it is set in the settings, all the maps use MapBox.

Set a MapBox access token, then enable 3D terrain and a view tilt in the block (or mapbox3d=true pitch=60 in the shortcode). bearing rotates the view, mapboxstyle chooses the style of a single map, for example satellite-streets-v12.

Use the GPX files separated by commas: [sgpx gpx="/wp-content/uploads/gpx/day1.gpx,/wp-content/uploads/gpx/day2.gpx"]. Each file gets its own color and the totals are for the whole route.

The main ones (every attribute also has a default in the settings; true / false turn an option on or off): gpx: path of the GPX file from the site root, or its URL; several files separated by commas. mheight, gheight, width: map height, chart height (0px hides the chart), width. mtype: map type without MapBox: OSM1 OpenStreetMap, OSM2 Thunderforest OpenCycleMap (CyclOSM without API key), OSM3 Thunderforest Outdoors, OSM4 Transport, OSM5 Landscape (Thunderforest maps need an API key, otherwise OpenStreetMap is used), OSM7 Humanitarian, OSM9 OpenTopoMap, OSM10 OpenSeaMap sea marks over OpenStreetMap, OSM11 GSI Japan, OSM12 CyclOSM. mapboxstyle, mapbox3d, pitch, bearing: MapBox style, 3D terrain, view tilt (0-85) and rotation. colorby: grade, speed, hr, elevation or none. mlinecolor: track color (several colors separated by spaces, one per track). kmmarkers: distance marker every N km or miles; startend: start / finish markers. fadeedges: true to fade the edges of the map into the page, or the color of the page behind the map, e.g. #f4f1ea. waypoints, startIcon, endIcon, currentIcon, waypointicon, zoomonscrollwheel, download. showele, showspeed, showhr, showcad, showatemp, showgrade and their colors glinecolor, glinecolorspeed, glinecolorhr, glinecolorcad, glinecoloratemp, glinecolorgrade. uom: 0 meters, 1 feet/miles, 2 meters/kilometers, 3 meters/nautical miles, 4 meters/miles, 5 feet/nautical miles. uomspeed: 0 m/s, 1 km/h, 2 miles/h, 3 min/km, 4 min/mile, 5 knots, 6 min/100 m. chartFrom1, chartTo1, chartFrom2, chartTo2: range of the altitude and speed axes. summary and summarytotlen, summarymaxele, summaryminele, summaryeleup, summaryeledown, summaryavgspeed, summarymaxspeed, summarymaxgrade, summaryavgcad, summaryavghr, summaryavgtemp, summarytotaltime, summarymovingtime. nggalleries, ngimages, attachments, dtoffset: photos on the map. pointsoffset, donotreducegpx, skipcache: processing of large files. description: text description of the track for screen readers, search engines and AI, hidden (default), visible or false; structureddata: false leaves out the schema.org data. The complete list with the current defaults is in Settings > WP GPX Maps > Help.

The plugin skips points closer than 10 meters (pointsoffset) and can keep about 200 points for the map and the chart, then caches the result, so even long tracks load fast.

Upload them in the Media Library: WordPress puts them in a folder for each month, and you can search them, give them a title and see the post they belong to. Media folder plugins work with them too. In the GPX Map block choose a file with the Media Library button. Every uploaded track file is checked first: files that are not valid tracks, or that contain scripts or HTML, are refused.

Yes. Tick the activities of a route in the editor (Activities panel, like categories), in Quick Edit, or for many posts at once with Bulk Edit. Each activity has a page, e.g. /activity/mountain-bike/, you can add to the menu, and the site search finds the routes by activity. Edit the list and the icons in Posts > Activities. Media Library files can have activities too.

GPX, FIT (the activity files of Garmin, Wahoo, Coros and most bike computers and watches), TCX and KML / KMZ (Google Earth). Use them like a GPX file: [sgpx gpx="/wp-content/uploads/gpx/ride.fit"]. The format is recognized from the content of the file. The map is not styled, or is missing, in a widget or a page builder The plugin loads the map style only on the pages whose posts contain the block or the shortcode; maps added in other ways load it in the footer. To load it in the head of every page add add_filter( 'wpgpxmaps_load_assets', '__return_true' ); to your theme. Maps start when they get near the screen: to start them as soon as the page has loaded use add_filter( 'wpgpxmaps_lazy_load', '__return_false' );.

Yes. Besides the map, every map prints a short text description of the route and schema.org structured data (JSON-LD) with distance, elevation, time and the route line. AI assistants, search engines and screen readers read them even though they can't run the map. The description is not shown on the page unless you choose so; you can turn both off in the settings.

Yes, WP GPX Maps is free and open source (GPLv2 or later).
