Exporting GPX Files
A GPX file, also known as a GPS Exchange Format file, is simply a text file with geographic information such as waypoints, tracks, and routes saved in it. You can use GPX files to transfer that information between GPS units and computers.
These files are designed to be imported to a GPS or navigation device and show up as waypoints. Many Garmin devices fit this category.
The documentation for the schema used is here.
