GPX file that opens in PDF

Question

Hello, I have a problem that has been going on for some time (maybe due to an error on my part). In my file explorer, my GPX files open in PDF format! How can I make them open like before?  .   Windows 10

Hello,  Press Windows + R Type --> regedit.exe and OK.  Follow this path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\FileExts  Locate the extension --> .gpx In subfolders, delete --> UserChoice Close the registry Restart the PC.   -- Human beings are at their best when things are at their worst.

Hello and thank you for your reply. I did what you mentioned about restarting the computer, but it's still the same. When I go to the settings "apps / default apps / by file type," I still have PDF.    In regedit, I no longer have UserChoice as you had asked me to delete it.

Good evening,  I suppose you want to see your maps. Use Google Maps. It's not immediate!  In Google Maps, click on the three bars at the top left (Menu) and choose Your addresses. Then click on Maps. At the bottom of the window, click on Create a map. In the new window, click on Import. Then drag your .gpx file into the central area. The map will display immediately.  Unfortunately, there are none of the data that the GPS can calculate (distance traveled, average).  Otherwise, use a site like https://www.calculitineraires.fr/importer-gpx.php You will at least have the distance traveled!  -- What is well conceived is clearly stated, And the words to say it come easily.

Good evening Pierr10, thank you for your help... you taught me something! I didn’t know you could trace a route on Google Maps. Thank you.  But that’s not what I’m looking for! I would like my GPS files to display like before (yellow) and not with the PDF logo as I have above.   But I don’t know what application to use to get it back to how it was before.

Good evening,  The problem is that there don't seem to be any applications to open .gpx files on computers. They can easily be found for smartphones.  However, I do have a solution to propose using Google Earth. Google Earth cannot open .gpx files, but it can open .kmz files.  The solution is therefore to: 1) Download Google Earth: https://www.google.com/intl/fr_ALL/earth/versions/download-thank-you/?usagestats=1  (this is a direct download link)  2) Convert your gpx files to kmz. There are various online converters available. This one does a good job: https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/?ref=ge Select your file, then the output format (Google Earth) and click on Map it. Click on the output file to download it.  Note: kmz is an archive that contains a kml file (you don’t need to decompress the archive). Google Earth works fine with kmz. In Google Earth, the tracks appear in light gray (not great). To change the color, right-click on tracks (on the left) then properties. -- What is well conceived is clearly expressed, And the words to say it come easily. (Boileau)
