GPX files for iOS Simulator [closed]

Answer 1

Here is a simple GPX file with an entry for Ann Arbor, Michigan. You can just change the name and lat/lon.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<gpx
xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd"
version="1.1" 
creator="gpx-poi.com">

   <wpt lat="42.280826" lon="-83.743038">
      <name>Ann Arbor</name>
   </wpt>

</gpx>

Answer 2

1. Run you app. In debug are you can find "Simulate location" button

2.You can select one of default locations (here is list)

If you need a custom location

Create new file : File -> New ->File (Resources tab) GPX file click (at the bottom of locations list) "Add GPX File to workspace"

3. Go to this website and get Latitude and Longitude of a Point that you need.
4. Edit GPX file that you have created.
5. Open "Simulate Location", the same as in step 1, and Your location from GPX file will be available in the list.The name of location will be same same as a name of the file.

Answer 3

You can go to https://github.com/doronkatz/GFXLocations which is a github repository of some cities (for Australia). You can generate new ones and contribute back to that.

Answer 4

The following tool converts a Google Maps link (also works with Google Maps Directions) to a .gpx file.

Simulating a trip duration is supported, custom durations may be specified. I enabled "Track Points" and Developer Settings > "Force Route as Waypoints" for a quick test, works flawlessly with Xcode 7.3.1.

Answer 5

Create yourself one:

Write a program that gets input:

1. startLocation (lat,lon)
2. endLocation,
3. speed

Determine distance between start and end in meters. Then do a linear interpolation between start and end, with calculated step. Step is derived from distance and speed

Then create the gpx file with simple text output.

Answer 6

The ideal and fastest solution (with accuracy), is to:

1. Create a Path via Google Earth
2. Save the path to an .kml file (on your desktop)
3. Open the .kml and copy all the geolocation points (notably the long, lat, elvations)
4. Paste it in TextMate or similar
5. Use this RegEx Find & Replace: Find: (.*?),(.*?),0 (there is a space at the end of this regex) Replace: <wpt lat="$2" lon="$1" />
6. Add to the begining and to the end, and save it as a .gpx
7. Use that gpx file in Xcode after running the App in debug: "Simulate Location" add the GPX, then select it again to start the simulation of the path you made.
