Package: gpx-converter
GPX manipulation for humansPython package for manipulating gpx files and easily convert gpx to other different formats.Free software: MIT licenseDocumentation:https://gpx-converter.readthedocs.io.When & WhyYou need to convert GPX to other formatsYou need to convert other formats like csv to GPXYou want to interpolate the GPX coordinatesHigh level of abstractionStable APIeasy to use and to extendMotivationI decided to create this project because I had gpx data that I needed to manipulate. I searched for a python
package for this but I did not find what I was looking for, therefore I created the gpx-converter package
to make gpx files manipulation very easy. Furthermore, the package contains methods for applying interpolation
on the gpx data. This feature was very helpful for me since I also needed to interpolate the gpx data and
convert it to csv.

You just need to pass the function, input file and output file as arguments.function: the conversion method you want to use. For example “gpx_to_csv”input file: path to your input fileoutput file: path to your output file$gpx_converter--function"gpx_to_csv"--input_file"home/your_input.gpx"--output_file"home/your_output.csv"or maybe you prefer the short version$gpx_converter-func"gpx_to_csv"-in"home/your_input.gpx"-out"home/your_output.csv"LinksCheck this article to know more about gpx files and how to use the gpx-converter package.https://medium.com/p/57da00bd36fc/editContributionsContributions are always welcome.
