What this format is

People use this to hide their home address before posting a map. The default cut is 400 metres from the start and from the end. Nothing is uploaded; the trimmed file downloads locally.

How to get the file

  1. From Garmin Connect
  2. 1. Export GPX or FIT, drop it here, then share the download — not the original.
  1. From Strava
  2. 1. Strava can hide maps itself, but a GPX you post elsewhere will still show the start. Trim first.
