Merge GPX Tracks

ConversionVectorGPS tracks
Merges all GPX tracks from a ZIP archive into a single GPX file. Most application open tracks one at a time, but this tool lets you gather all your tracks into one file and open it in any GPX-compatible application. The algorithm fixes broken GPX file code and can be used to repair files that were recorded incorrectly when the GPS logger lost power.
