[GPSBabel] Merge multiple GPX files, only keeping tracks?

Hello

I need to merge 20-40 GPX files into a single GPX file, while removing waypoints during the process (I only need tracks).

I looked around the GPSBabel GUI application, but found nothing obvious, and the website displays nothing when clicking on either Support or Documentation.

Can the CLI application do this?

Thank you.

 

Tried this, to no avail: No trace of "merge.gpx".

Open DOS box

cd "folder/of/file"

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set f=for %%f in (*.gpx) do set f=!f! -f "%%f"

gpsbabel -i gpx !f! -o gpx -F "merge.gpx"​

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Is there really no way to use some kind of "*.gpx" to feed multiple files into GpsBabel?

 

Thanks for the info.

Indeed, here's what happens after I use GpsPrune to merge GPX files into a single file, and import it in Google My Maps:



Why does this occur?

Also, why are timestamps so important in GPX files, even when users only care about the route, not speed?

Edit: Same issue when importing the file in GPSVisualizer, but it gets worse when importing the whole route in yet another site (www.visugpx.com):

 

Thanks much.

The original GPX files I downloaded each contained a single track, and I needed to merge all the files into a single GPX since Google My Maps only takes one file per layer.

After experimenting, I found a solution:

1. If need be, make sure the GPX filenames are sequential to match the route, eg. 01.gpx, 02.gpx, etc.*
2. Run this to merge the files into a single GPX file:
   
   SET APP="c:\Program Files\GPSBabel\gpsbabel.exe"
   setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
   set f=
   
   for %%f in (*.gpx) do set f=!f! -f "%%f"
   
   %APP% -t -i gpx %f% -x nuketypes,waypoints -o gpx -F merge.nuked.gpx
   
   
3. Upload into a new layer in Google My Maps
4. If you wish, select and remove each and every start/stop endpoints.

Thank you.

* That's the problem I had: The files weren't named sequentially, and I assumed the application (GpsBabel, etc.) would figure out the whole route
