GPX2SHP - Win32 with C# source code


I have been searching for some time for a simple GPX to SHP file converter. Both of these file formats are used extensively in geospatial applications, but for some reason no one has created a converter between these two files.

So, being a programmer, I decided to remedy this situation.

Download GPX2SHP Binary- for Win32

the binary version requires the .Net 2.0 framework to be installed on your computer. You can download the framework here.

Currently only waypoints are converted - tracks will be added in the future.

If you're a programmer, you can download the Visual Studio .Net 2005 C# Source Code for this project here.

If this program works for you (or if it doesn't), you can email me at jsuwala@gmail.com.

April 13 2009 update: the download links above are now working!

The link is broken, did you take it down?

Looks good but I don't have waypoints. I could make a text file of waypoint coordinates. Would that work? What is the input format? Any chance of it converting lines segments.
