What is a GPS Heatmap?

A GPS heatmap visualizes the density of your location data on a map. Areas you've visited more frequently appear brighter and more intense, creating a visual representation of your activity patterns over time.

Supported File Formats

  • GPX - GPS Exchange Format (most GPS apps)
  • FIT - Garmin activity files
  • GeoJSON - Web mapping format
  • KML/KMZ - Google Earth format

How to Export Your Data

  • Strava: Settings > My Account > Download your data
  • Garmin: Copy .FIT files from device or use Garmin Connect export
  • Apple Fitness: Use third-party apps to export workouts as GPX
  • Google Maps: Use Google Takeout to export location history
