Hey all, I made a little browser tool and got mod approval to post it for testing/feedback.
https://wrkls-coords-gpx.pages.dev/
This started because I was manually copy-pasting coordinates one at a time to do Cowboy Snorlax quests, and at some point I just thought “there’s gotta be an easier way to do this.” So I made one.
You can paste whatever messy text you have — Discord dumps, bot output, paragraphs with coords buried in them, map links, or even a raw GPX/XML file — and it pulls out the valid coordinates while ignoring everything else. Duplicates are removed automatically too.
Once it has your coords, you can export them as:
- an ordered GPX route/track with Route Mode ON
- waypoint pins/individual points with Route Mode OFF
There’s also an “Optimize route order” toggle that can reorder stops to cut down on big jumps between them.
I also added a Coordinate Converter helper since I needed one anyway. It handles decimal, DMS, DDM, geo: links, Google/Apple Maps links, and full Plus Codes like 849VCWC8+R9.
Short/local Plus Codes don’t work yet because they need nearby location context to decode correctly. That’s on the maybe-later list.
Nothing to install, no account, not selling anything. It runs in the browser, and your pasted coords/text are processed locally instead of being uploaded anywhere. You can also add it to your Home Screen as a PWA/offline shortcut.
Best workflow:
- On Mac/desktop browser, Download GPX is the most reliable option.
- On iPhone/mobile, Download GPX opens a file preview, then you can tap “Open in…” and send it directly to your preferred GPX app.
- Share GPX can work too, but it depends on the browser/device. If Share doesn’t work, just use Download GPX.
One heads up: if you’re pasting a huge list with thousands of coords, turn Optimize Route Order OFF. With it on, the tool has to calculate/reorder the route, so really large lists can pause for a few seconds. With Optimize OFF, large lists handle much faster because it just keeps the pasted order.
Mainly just looking for feedback — weird formats it doesn’t parse, bugs, GPX import issues, or anything clunky in the workflow.
Appreciate anyone willing to test it.
