Import GPX with time, timesteps didn't appear in Trajectory dialogue

GPX with time.gpx.txt

(had to rename it .txt to be uploaded to Github for some reason).

Created this GPX file on https://gpx.studio/ with time specification. Hoped that those times would be extracted in trajectory dialogue, but it wasn't. Is this a QGIS import GPX limitation?

This is a QGIS import limitation. The GPX format is notoriously problematic to get working as the user would like... But this issue is out the scope of this plugin.

path.gpkg.txt @MattWardle could you try this please? (please remove .txt as the extension).

Notes: You need to use QGIS processing toolbox to set Z and M to the GPX.with.time — track_points and then convert points to path.

GPX is a multi-geometry layer and each piece of information is stored in a separate layer. By using the following processing tools in QGIS (in order):

• Set M (you need an expression to convert UTC time to epoch)
• Set Z
• Points to path

You can convert it to a single layer to use in the query.

Hi Saber, yes that works thanks. I'll look into setting a macro. Draw GPX -> Macro -> Trajectory would be nice and easy for the user.

Sounds like this issue can be closed @MattWardle ?

[MattWardle]

Yes, that's fine @Gugym
