  • WP GPX Maps: your hikes on an interactive map

    Trail 157 on Monte Grappa is a short, quiet walk along the ridge, with wide views over the Venetian plain. Here it is as a GPX file on an interactive map, with its elevation profile and a summary of the route.

    Map of the route “WP GPX Maps: your hikes on an interactive map”: 4,38 km, 145 m of climbing and 376 m of descent, elevation between 1.317 m and 1.580 m, time 01:13:54. It starts at 45.91689, 11.84247 and ends at 45.89153, 11.82184 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 4.38 km
    Max elevation: 1580 m
    Min elevation: 1315 m
    Total climbing: 145 m
    Total descent: 376 m
    Total time: 01:13:54
    Moving time: 01:07:57

    Move the mouse over the chart: the marker follows you on the map. Drag the map, zoom in, switch to full screen or change the map style with the button in the corner.

    What WP GPX Maps can do

    • Maps from OpenStreetMap and other free providers, or Mapbox with 3D terrain and satellite images
    • Elevation, speed, heart rate, cadence and temperature charts
    • Tracks colored by grade, speed, heart rate or elevation
    • Several tracks on one map, distance markers, waypoints and photos
    • GPX, FIT, TCX and KML files, uploaded in the Media Library
    • A block for the block editor, and the [sgpx] shortcode for the classic editor

  • 3D trail maps with Mapbox

    With a free Mapbox key the map becomes three-dimensional: the mountains rise from the map and you can tilt and rotate the view. This is the Alta Via degli Eroi, a 16 km loop on the ridges of Monte Grappa with almost 1,200 m of climbing.

    Map of the route “3D trail maps with Mapbox”: 16,27 km, 1.181 m of climbing and 1.137 m of descent, elevation between 1.305 m and 1.790 m, time 04:19:25. It is a loop that starts and ends at 45.89148, 11.82181 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 16.32 km
    Max elevation: 1791 m
    Total climbing: 1181 m

    The same idea with satellite images, on Trail 151: 1,200 m of climbing from San Liberale to the top of Monte Grappa.

    Map of the route “3D trail maps with Mapbox”: 6,49 km, 1.236 m of climbing and 88 m of descent, elevation between 606 m and 1.753 m, time 01:53:52. It starts at 45.86700, 11.83435 and ends at 45.87277, 11.80264 (latitude, longitude).

    Hold the right mouse button (or use two fingers) to change the tilt and the direction. In the block settings you choose the map style and the starting view; the 3D terrain and the default style can also be set once for every map of the site.

  • Color your track by grade

    A blue line tells you where the trail goes. Colors tell you how it goes: on this map of Trail 156 the color shows the grade, from blue for descents to green for the flat, then yellow and red for the steep climbs.

    Map of the route “Color your track by grade”: 7,07 km, 413 m of climbing and 621 m of descent, elevation between 1.556 m and 1.788 m, time 01:43:31. It starts at 45.87349, 11.80156 and ends at 45.91678, 11.84222 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 7.11 km
    Total climbing: 413 m
    Max grade: 21% / -29.1%

    Tracks with times can be colored by speed too. This is a snowshoe hike near Cima Grappa: you can see where the snow slowed us down.

    Map of the route “Color your track by grade”: 8,55 km, 1.609 m of climbing and 1.600 m of descent, elevation between 1.517 m and 1.822 m, time 02:22:40. It is a loop that starts and ends at 45.87331, 11.80176 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 8.55 km
    Moving time: 02:14:12

    The colors can also follow the heart rate or the elevation, and the legend under the map explains them.

  • Several trails on one map

    Planning a weekend on Monte Grappa? Put several trails on the same map: each one gets its own color and a name in the legend, and the totals are for the whole route. Here are trails 151, 153 and 157.

    Map of the route “Several trails on one map”: 16,27 km, 2.504 m of climbing and 822 m of descent, elevation between 606 m and 1.753 m, time 9914:31:28. It starts at 45.86700, 11.83435 and ends at 45.89153, 11.82184 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 16.3 km
    Total climbing: 2504 m

    With the shortcode just separate the files with commas: [sgpx gpx="/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/sentiero-151.gpx,/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/sentiero-153.gpx"].

  • GPX, FIT, TCX or KML: use the file you have

    Your watch or bike computer saves FIT files, Garmin Connect exports TCX, Google Earth uses KML and KMZ, and almost every app can export GPX. WP GPX Maps reads all of them, with heart rate, cadence and temperature when the file has them.

    This map comes from a KML file of Trail 156, drawn in Google Earth:

    Map of the route “GPX, FIT, TCX or KML: use the file you have”: 7,07 km, 413 m of climbing and 621 m of descent, elevation between 1.556 m and 1.788 m. It starts at 45.87349, 11.80156 and ends at 45.91678, 11.84222 (latitude, longitude).

    Total distance: 7.11 km
    Total climbing: 413 m

    Upload them like images

    Track files go in the WordPress Media Library, organized by month and searchable, and you choose them in the GPX Map block with the Media Library button. Every file is checked when it is uploaded: files that are not tracks, or that contain scripts, are refused.
