Safely share GPS tracks by removing sensitive information from GPX files
This project anonymizes GPX files by stripping out metadata and personal location data that may compromise your privacy—making your GPS tracks safer to share online.
GPX files often contain more than just coordinates—they can include:
- Timestamps
- Device information
- Starting points like home or work
This tool helps you sanitize that data before sharing.
Edit the SRC_DIR
variable in the Makefile
to point to your folder of GPX files:
SRC_DIR=/your/path/to/gpx/files
make
- Processed (anonymized) GPX files will appear in the
anonymized/
folder - Log files are in the
logs/
directory
Create static maps in anonymized/maps/
make maps
