How It Works
Extract performs the opposite operation of Merge:- Extracting from a file → Creates a new file for each track contained in the original file
- Extracting from a track → Creates a new track (in the same file) for each segment contained in the original track
Use Cases
Splitting Multi-Activity Files
If you have a GPX file containing multiple activities (e.g., a morning ride and afternoon hike), extract them into separate files for individual analysis.Organizing Segments
If you have a track with multiple segments representing different sections of a route, extract them into separate tracks for easier management.Waypoint Handling
When extracting tracks from a file that contains waypoints, the tool automatically assigns each waypoint to the track it is geographically closest to.
