Why Print a GPX Track?
Digital maps are convenient, but printed maps are still essential for many outdoor activities. Phones can run out of battery, lose signal, or fail in bad weather. A printed topographic map provides a dependable backup and a broader spatial understanding that’s hard to replicate on a small screen.
Printed GPX maps are ideal for:
- Long-distance hikes and backpacking trips
- Bikepacking and cycling routes
- Trail races and event backups
- Outdoor education and navigation training
- Emergency and preparedness planning
Designed for Outdoor Enthusiasts
This tool is built for people who rely on accurate maps in real-world conditions. Hikers, cyclists, trail runners, and outdoor planners can quickly turn GPX files from GPS devices and apps into printable maps that work anywhere—no signal required.
Simply upload your GPX track, preview it on a topographic map, and export a print-ready file you can trust in the field.

Supported Maps
GPX to Printable Map supports multiple high-quality map layers, so you can choose the map style that best fits your activity and terrain.
Topographic Maps

Topo (CyclOSM) – A detailed topographic-style map optimized for outdoor activities like hiking and cycling, with clear paths, terrain context, and map features.
-
Topo (ESRI) – A global topographic map with elevation shading, landmarks, and natural features, suitable for general navigation and route planning.
Topographic maps are ideal for understanding elevation, terrain, and trail layout when printing maps for outdoor use.
Standard Map

OSM Standard – The classic OpenStreetMap style, offering a clean and familiar map view with roads, paths, and geographic features.
This map is useful for general orientation and urban or mixed-terrain routes.

Satellite maps are especially useful for visual verification of routes, surface conditions, and terrain features that may not appear on standard maps.

Use GPX Files from Your Favorite Apps
GPX to Printable Map works with GPX files generated by most GPS devices and route-planning apps, including hiking, cycling, and fitness platforms. If you can export a GPX file, you can turn it into a printable topographic map.
This makes it easy to plan routes digitally and still navigate confidently with a paper map outdoors.
Offline Navigation You Can Trust
Once printed, your map works anywhere—mountains, forests, remote trails, and areas without mobile coverage. A printed GPX map is lightweight, durable, and always available when you need it most.
If you value reliability, situational awareness, and preparedness, printing your GPX tracks is a simple but powerful step.
